Malformed bullet causes emailed in topic to be incorrectly truncated

I know that a line with two dashes truncates everything below it.

But it turns out that a line with a single dash immediately followed by text (no space) will also truncate everything below it. See screenshots.

Well, that’s a malformed list in general… looks like an interaction between malformed list and GitHub’s email library detecting it as a signature, maybe?

Yeah, that sounds right.

It’s a drag that the parser is so unforgiving! Why a dash with no space and a word would be interpreted as a signature is beyond me.

It’s a legit bug, perhaps @techAPJ can have a look.

Hah. Smart guy. :slight_smile: You are right. But I never do this and if I did would want it included in my message. I was referring to the automated sig that gets skipped with the preceeding two dashes.
