I don't like that regexp. You'd miss my sig (even though it's the 4
line standard). Mine is like this for various reasons:
[snip]
Just remove the $ and I'll agree to the regexp. That aside, your
concept sounded well thought out and I think it would be a great
challenge to code. :)

Sigh. The whole point is that there already exists a standard. You are
failing to follow that standard because you like your own format better.
If everybody did that, we'd be completely unable to determine the start
of a signature.
I used to use "-- Bob" as a manually inserted tag line, not an
automatically inserted .signature. But then various random MUAs started
deciding that "-- Bob" was the start of a .signature and clipped it off.
Sheesh. Now I have to use
== Bob
