Hello Peter: I strongly disagree. I should be able to place signature where I want it. Right now this means calling up the signature, cutting it (Ctrl-X), moving the cursor to where I want the signature, and then pasting it (Ctrl-V). I have had such "illegally" placed signatures go through several "bug company" e-mail servers without a problem. I am currently using evolution 3.20.4 running under ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.

Having "--" just disturb the reading of that text because for your eyes it says: "Now something completely different begins". I even never have seen any e-mail-client doing such a "weird" thing.The "-- " signature separator is a convention to allow mail programs to know where a signature block starts so that it can be treated differently. Many mail clients know about it, although not many do the correct thing and put it in by default. The signature block is not meant to be used for your ending salutation, it is meant to contain contact information and that sort of thing. As such, it is largely superfluous information and so anything after the "-- \n" is removed when replying. That is the purpose of the signature separator.My action for exactly EVERY mail I write with evolution is: delete those annoying "--"... ☹They are not annoying. It serves a purpose. Just because other mail programs don't try and adhere to conventions, doesn't mean that Evolution should abandon it as well.So I would like to suppose to remove those "--" before signatures in some kind.No. Lets not.
