Well, it is non-standard and as you know, M$ always follows standards ;-)

Actually, the signature is completely user-defined. Outlook Express on Mac
does not auto-add separators of any kind. And as you said, it doesn't
support them either.
However, more important is that if such a detection fails in a program it is
relatively easy to get the rest of the message one way or the other, but
when it breaks in the web view, it would be a really clumsy back button game
combined with section of HTML content and pasting that without breaking
layout, and, and, and...
Another problem is that the decoder program (munpack) used already had to be
tweaked a real lot to cope with so many broken or non-standard message
formats that any further change may break it completely. I am glad it works
at all for 99.99% of messages without errors that make them unreadable. So
currently it ignores lines starting with two minus signs :-( BTW, it also
ignored Chris Cason's default name signature........

What? You mean it isn't supposed to be a superscript 3? And instead is
really a accented "l"?!
Wonder if others see the following as I see it:
I just thought ABX was using a interesting name-- W to the third power-- all
this time.

ABX even explained the pronunciation, but the article is not available on
the server anymore. (Maybe he has canceled it?)

I didn't. But I crossposted it to off-topic so perhaps therefore it was
automatically canceled.

Didn't get there so I guess it is gone, yeah. No big deal, I might have
scanned over it since I try to read most messages like a speedreader would
do. I just don't have great speedreading skill. I see a message post per
second or two sometimes, I dislike the replies below long quoting some
people use for that reason. I'm only half serious of course, I will scroll
too. :-)
