Yes, I saw the ``-related bug but I upgrade daily to the latest version so I don’t think it affected me when testing reply via email today. Thanks for pointing this out however!

The Italian dates seem to be tripping the email parser, we need a smarter heuristic

Today I tried removing the original message from a reply entirely, but it seems to miss also the signature at the bottom of the message, it’s kept as is (but that shouldn’t be language-dependent) 😕

We **do not** remove user signatures.
Since there is no standards around user signatures, there is no **easy** way to even get it to work for 75% of the emails.
The [best solution](https://github.com/mailgun/talon) I’ve found so far requires machine learning and **lots** of training samples. It gets much harder when you have to support more than one locale…

EDIT: I already added support for italian replies, but did push a new version of the gem. I just did, you should update 😉

Oh, I was under the impression that signatures starting with “–\n” or “–
\n” were already removed by the parser (since it seems easy, but I
understand that there are 2^1231234 possible variants).
I just updated my forum and I’m replying to this message by email to see
what happens here on Meta. Thanks!

Due to a build failure, meta isn’t up to date yet…
