Hi
I've recently created a mailing list with mailman and are quite satisfied. However I have one simple question/request:
If I have public archives and a member of the list has a signature in their email reader, this signature is included in the archive. But - at least in my list - it is quite common for signatures to include the posters email adress which therefore are being made accesible on a public webpage.
Is it possible to strip messages of the signature before they are being archived? If so - how?

No, you can't really do that. The problem is that you can't see where signatures start. Sure, sane people use the correct signature marker ('-- ', as I have below) so you can detect the start of signatures, but that's not all. Some mailers put quoted text below the signature, so if they used a proper signature marker you would end up removing the entire quoted mail. And what to think of people who accidentily put
