Summary: Edit signature delimiter in footer

Initial Comment:
According to the standards, a MUA should search for the
signature delimiter from the bottom.  If the footer
contains a standard signature delimiter, it will be
chopped off by the MUA, but the real signature is left
intact.  This patch changes the footer delimiter to "__
" when the original message has a signature already.

closed the bug?  why, it's still there. 

if the user doesn't have a signature delimiter, the mailing
list footer will appear as content.  that's broken.  this
patch fixes the problem without breaking anything.

Since we aren't changing the default footer delimiter,
marking this closed.

Ah, this is a good reason not to use '-- ' as the default
footer/signature delimiter. The current behaviour (using
'----------------' as the delimiter) should work then, as
the correct signature delimiter is '-- ', two dashes
followed by a space, and nothing else.
