everything after your signature when I reply.

I reply from several boxes, but I will investigate settings. Since
this laptop is probably the most common source, I have checked it
first by sending a message to myself then using Reply. KMail
strips the signature as expected. Does Thunderbird?

If we are talking about the same thing, it is the mailing list
software that appears to be at fault here, not Anne. Again, we may
be seeing different things so I could be wrong here. I'm on
Seamonkey here. Should be similar to Thunderbird are least.

I suspect that then the problem is that she is putting the "-- " after
her signature rather than before it.

Definitely not.

Your message (the one I am replying to) is a MIME multipart message,
and the mailing list tagline is in a separate part from your message,
so your signature delimiter doesn't (and shouldn't?) affect it. If you
had sent a simple plain-text email it would probably not get quoted
like that. You can try it on this message, which should hopefully be
in plain text :)

Although there have been hiccups when a kdepim update has switched on html
without my knowledge, I do normally send plain text messages. In fact I think
the message you refer to is plain text - at least I can't see anything that
suggests that it isn't. My gpg signature on messages means that they are
always reported as MIME.multipart.

Hi,

By plain text I did not mean to imply the alternative was HTML, I just
meant traditional plain plain text, no MIME multipart, no
quoted-printable encoding. Just a header and text. :)

Your message (and those from some others on this list) has 3 MIME
parts: Body (quoted-printable encoded plain text), GPG signature,
Mailing List Footer. Here's a sample of the end of your message:
