Hi,

While reading mails in sup, it makes lots of mistakes in identifying
the signature.

Ideally it should identify the last block of text preceded with a '--'
as the signature block. Instead it takes a random block of email body
and condenses it as signature.

Is there any way around this problem?

Peace and Love,

Sup does detect "-- " (note the space) as the beginning of a "standard"
signature block. It also detects several other variants seen in
practice. Email being what it is, this detection code is necessarily
heuristic and will sometimes generate both false positives and false
negatives.

Provide a patch, or at the least, file a bug report with the specific
behavior you are seeing.
