Generally it is a very good idea to have, say, some predefined regexps, and
a button more... to add an infite number of regexps :)

However, then Balsa would become impossible to use for reading mail --
GtkText widget is so slow, especially with pixmap themes, and colorizing
text makes it even more slow.

So, together with the implementation of this idea Balsa should switch to
another Text widget (GtkExText or Scintilla? Or maybe backport Text widget
from Gtk+2?)

signatures more than 4 lines in length are rude and deprecated. Quoting
signatures is also bad ;)
