no dashes (--) before signature above quotes

[Sofian Rahmani]

Binary package hint: thunderbird

when I write a new email, I immediately see my signature (-- (newline) best wishes (newline) sofian rahmani), BUT, when I reply to a message, and my signature appears above the quote (I set it to do so), the dashes (--) are not there! just best wishes, then sofian rahmani. note: when I created the signature file, I didn't include the dashes.

I have observed the same behavior on Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 for Windows when I top-post with my signature above the quoted message.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. If I add "-- "+(newline) to my signature block and then send the email to myself as the recipient I get the message back and Thunderbird treats everything below the "-- " as the signature - including the quoted message. Leaving out the "-- " when top posting a reply does not cause that issue.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?
