Double Dash above Sig make Gmail hide the Signature

[tonyvier]

As the title says.

Roundcube inserts two - above the signature, that's fine I guess, however Gmail (And Google mail for Business) sees this as separator between earlier messages, so hides the signature....

Now I could mail Google about this, but maybe this forum is easier to get a solution   ....

I looked a bit through the code, but the --[SPACE] is used to do some trickery when replying and such, so I don't know really what to change for this...

A little test shows that three dashes --- would work.....

Ok :

Changed line 613 and line 1143 in compose.inc (v 1.10) to include three dashes (and a space) and now Gmail shows the signature....

What you are describing is the proper behaviour. The double dash followed by a space is a standard separator which show where the message finishes and so that mail clients can chop off the sig when they want to. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block for more info.

Oh,

didn't know that. 

But not so nice to hid my sig
