Anyone have some suggestions for scoring based on sig length? Assuming
a RFC1036bis sig indicator (^--[ ]$) is fine.
I was intrigued when I read this; I thought about the possibility of
stripping those long gratutitous sigs that some people put at the
end of their email (like I want to read it). Is there some way I could
set an arbitrary max sig-length and replace big sigs with some string
(like "I deleted this dope's 8 line sig!"). Am I dreaming?
Just today I received another of those emails with 5 lines of text and a 6 KB
WINMAIL.DAT file uuencoded at the end. Sounds like a similar problem to
tackle!
