How to remove the — signature seperator in Thunderbird
This is something that really bothers people in the business world when switching to Thunderbird from Outlook. In my opinion Thunderbird should make the dash-dash-space sigblock separator optional, or at least have a config option to turn it off.
The reason is that many people do not use a “signature” as a random block of information meant for the bottom of the page, but rather a real “signature”, something like.

This obviously looks very bad when it has — before it.
There are a couple plugins that allow you to drop arbitrary text into your document, but none that do this automatically when starting a new email message.
What you have to do is:
- Install TemplateLoader
- Follow the steps to create the template which includes your sigblock
- Choose that template as the default for your identity
And you are good to go. You will notice that there is a slight lag when starting a new email, but that is the price you pay

Информация занятная. Спасибо. Хотелось бы только обновлений почаще
After reading about it, it would seem that it is just a convention (albeit a widely overlooked one) that Mozilla have decided to stick too. It is an annoyance having the double dash but it’s not the end of the world and Thunderbird still rates very highly in my book.
As a designer, I find this totally retarded and annoying. I hope that there is a way out or that there will be one soon or I will have to put the signatures in cut and paste…
I just installed Thunderbird and find this to be an annoyance. However, if you didn’t want to install any fix or something, you can simply manually delete the hyphens. But yes, I still agree that Thunderbird should make this automatically optional as a setting.
Даа… Пока это у нас не сильно развито, так что придётся чуть подождать.
Занятно и полезно, а будет еще что-то из этой же серии?
Useful extension, thanks for sharing.
Я тоже иногда такое замечал, но как-то ранее не придавал этому значения.
Да все понятно, Премного благодарен за сообщение.
Is there a way of changing the colour of the dashes automatically? All the emails I send are on a white background, so white dashes would be great.
