Signature Detection
Since so many people on the Internet use signatures, Lyris List Manager has a built-in signature detection mechanism. The purpose of this mechanism is to stop processing the message,
which prevents signature lines from generating errors in the response email Lyris List Manager sends out. Detecting a signature is analogous to issuing the "end" command.
This mechanism looks for either of these character strings: "--", "**", or "==". Once one of these strings is encountered, Lyris List Manager stops processing the message immediately. Please note
that this mechanism is not fully activated in a MIME-encoded message, because in that case the "--" may be a content type separator, and in that case the message still needs to be processed.
The exception is if the MIME type is "text/plain", in which case the parser still check for "---", since it isn't oddly encoded.
