Hallo!
The official tag for the signature of an E-Mail ist "-- " so 2 dash and a blank . See also here: RFC 3676 - The Text/Plain Format and DelSp Parameters.
But discourse is only checking for “–” so only 2 dashes and this cut often also a text which is not part of the signature.
Can you Check?
thanks!
Manfred
I know @zogstrip worked on this but the requiring of a space does not seem correct to me. Regardless, the presence of a space should not stop it from working…
No it is the other way around, the space is needed to be the right tag for a begin of an signature!
You may be interested in the discussion on the commit @zogstrip merged (and then reverted):

It’s definitely supposed to be with the space to be a signature delimiter. However, William Shakespeare would be proud of the degree of “more honoured in the breach” on that one…
No Sorry this is not correct!
– IS not the tag for a signature, if you accept it as a tag it can happen that a text is stripped out which is not a signature!
But if you @codinghorror think both should work please make it with a parameter in the settings!
thanks
I seriously doubt users understand this rule you’re describing.
Do you have examples that aren’t working so that I can check?
Sure I send you a e-mail with 2 attached mails. One where it is ok and one where it is wrong! Thanks for taking care!
