Yes, I see that now.

That is correct.  What did you expect it to do?  If you want programs to
stop at your signature, use something that allows them to tell that it's
your signature.  Don't use some random pattern of dashes.  Don't use a line
of dashes.  Don't use some space and then some dashes.  Don't encircle your
name in dashes.  Use "-- " alone on a line, then add your signature.

I think I may go back to checking the real signature separator only.
Better too many messages than to just break out too easily without
processing anything.  I would like to get more feedback from the rest of
the group on this issue before doing anything, though.
