Some [signatures are stripped out](https://meta.discourse.org/t/html-email-signature-not-being-stripped-out-of-notification-reply/21351/16) but with the [wide variety of formats and no standard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/email-signature-not-being-stripped-out-when-user-write-new-topic-or-reply-to-a-topic/51389/4), it is a pretty impossible task to reliably remove every email signature.

If you want to see all the signature formats that are removed, you can review the library that Discourse uses here:
