Signature which produce FalseNegative

which mean, my recipe get a FalseNegative which I do not like...
HOW can I exclude the signature from the test?
Pipe your message through a sed rule which removes the footer? Even THAT
will have its issues though, since someone with a line in a quote section
will trip it.
Some time ago, David W. Tamkin posted a rule which dealt with footers in
some fashion. I borrowed some concepts for a majordomo frontend, where I
tried implementing it to remove freemail footers (which is a ruleset which
I'm not presently using through). From my notes:
# The logic is like this: we take the number of lines in the body,
# subtract the number of lines in the footer, subtract one more if the
# footer has a divider above it (alternatively we could include the
# divider in the definition of the search string), and cut the body off
# after that many lines by running it through head or, if your system
# doesn't have head, through sed. Be careful not to change the action
# line to include any characters from $SHELLMETAS, because then you'll
# lose the use of $=. (If you must, save $= in a regular variable first
# and then use the regular variable.)
The recipe basically consists of a bunch of freemail-specific footers. It
was quite effective, but every time a freemail service changed their
footers, the filter required updating.
A discussion list however would more likely have a fairly static footer.
You could count lines, then subtract the number of lines for a given list
footer. Should be doable entirely within the confines of scoring.
