After running some tests, I can confirm that it should be two dashes at the beginning of the line, then space, then newline, then the signature. (It is actually possible to have an empty signature but then the marker to indicate the start of the signature doesn't make any sense.) In all other cases, at least with Gnus, it doesn't work: e.g., a space before the first dash, or a char after the space, or the signature being on the same line (i.e., that coincides with the previous fail case). -- underground experts united
