Discourse uses HTML emails by default and it automatically detects and strips email signatures of the most popular email clients. So, this should work out of the box as long as your users send HTML emails and use their email client to insert signatures.

For plain text emails it’s always a good idea to start signatures with the de facto standard of two dashes and a space.

```plaintext
-- 
signature

```
