Hallo
When sending a new post or reply to a post via mail the email signature was not
stripped out.
The following was posted as a new topic:
Mal sehen was hier mit der Signatur passiert!

Is there a setting to turn the stripping out off or on?
I have the original email headers/source available for anyone who wants to look at this bug more closely.
thanks
Manfred
Signature stripping is done automatically. Since there’s no standard, it’s hard to get it right for all the billions signature formats out there. Can you PM me the raw email so that I can have a look?
Thanks for the fast answer! Will send you the File right away!
For our group it would be helpful to understand what the preferred signature format is. For example, we could let folks know that anything after ten dashes ---------- would be parsed as a signature. We could then be in contact with our most difficult signature offenders (those that include images as part of their signature) and ask them to prepend their signature line with ten dashes. I realize this method wouldn’t work for everyone, but it would be very helpful for our smaller group (300 members).
Or possibly include something in the Admin that allowed us to specify our own local signature formats that would be stripped from incoming emails.
Usenet signature cut lines are standardized. How many people get it right (follow suit) in email is another matter. The quoted text in the first post does appear to be a standard Usenet cut line: hyphen-hyphen-space.
When I was young, I was told that the standard is two lines, space and linebreak.
A solution that I’ve mused about is that there couple be a use setting that included the text to remove. People could then paste their sig in there and have it removed when they posted.
Its still rather fiddly,but easier than machine learning.
I upgraded our email_reply_trimmer library and pushed it to master. Can you give it a try?
Not sure, if this behaviour really belongs to this change: Emails are not accepted because of a invalid main body or a body, that is too short. In fact, the body is long enough according to the rules (min. 20 characters) and I cannot see a reason, why it should not be accepted. Maybe we strip out too much of the content?
I can provide you the email that matters.

I have a few users who are willing to update their email signatures, but I’m confused on what I should tell them.
What signature protocols does Discourse accept?
What is the signal to for discourse to cut the signature?
I believe @gerhard is in the best position to advise here.
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.

Is there any way to manually add signatures from my users to my board’s email trimmer library?
I only have 20 users, that’s all it’ll ever be. So it’s easy to manage.
Ideas?
@gerhard さん、こんにちは。どう頑張っても自動署名のトリミングがうまくいきません。テストしたメールには、画像やテキストを含む標準的な Microsoft Outlook 形式の署名が、送信する新しいメールの下部にそのまま付加されてしまいます。
これは単に私の設定が間違っているだけでしょうか？
「切り詰められたコンテンツを常に表示」がチェックされていますか？
はい、チェック済みです。他に設定は必要ですか？
切り詰められたコンテンツを表示したくない場合は、チェックを外してください。
うーん、私が最初に設定したのも、署名が削除されませんでした。
もしかして、メールでの最初の投稿だけが削除され、その後の投稿は削除されないのでしょうか？
すべての受信メールで発生しますか？メール署名のトリマーは、私のメールの大部分では正常に機能していますが、いくつかのランダムなメールが通過してしまいます。また、X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 16.0 から送信される一貫してトリマーを回避するメールもあります。
いいえ、メールによるすべての投稿がトリマーの対象となります。
