It seems to me that VM is a bit overly zealous when bursting digests. Many
signatures are separated from the message body by a line containg just two
dashes (--), and VM insists on beginning a new message, thus separating the
poster's signature from the rest of the message. Would it be relatively easy
(I haven't looked yet) to get VM to require (or at least prefer) the first
non-blank line following the message separator to look like a mail header? I
have no idea about digest standards, but I'm accustomed to seeing something
more like 20 dashes between messages in a digest.
