Unless it's been updated or my memory is faulty, I could have sworn the standard is 'space dash dash' as seen in Carlos' lines, here:
From RFC3676 <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3676.txt>
4.3. Usenet Signature Convention
There is a long-standing convention in Usenet news which also commonly appears in Internet mail of using "-- " as the separator line between the body and the signature of a message. When generating a Format=Flowed message containing a Usenet-style separator before the signature, the separator line is sent as-is. This is a special case; an (optionally quoted or quoted and stuffed) line consisting of DASH DASH SP is neither fixed nor flowed.
Thanks James, *This* refreshed my memory as to my /purpose/ for having messed with it in the first place, years ago. Some email clients *claimed* to be using "plain text" when the box was ticked but, instead, were using 'format flowed' text, which broke the parsing of the delimiter in certain cases. This was quite a while ago. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
