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 😉
