Subject: bug with reply?

When I try to reply to the included message (on both Windows & Linux
versions), the included text gets cut off right after my signature (8
lines from the bottom), but before including the full text. I thought this
might be related to Pine recognizing my signature, but the behavior
persists even when I choose a different role with a different signature.

What's different about this mesage from most is that my corrrespondent
included his reply at the end of my message and managed to not quote (i.e.
indent with >) my message to which he was replying. The part that *is*
quoted is from two exchanges earlier and was quoted by me.

Has anyone else seen this?

Richard, I did receive the lot of Hextall cards --- and nicely packaged.
The lot description was for 30 cards, but you enclosed only 20. I
certainly don't wish to leave negative feedback and am hoping we can
figure this out between us via email.

You're right.  My mistake.  I'll send you another twenty
cards (because there may be duplicates to the lot I previously sent you.
They will go in the mail on Friday, but I need your address again.  Thanks
for your under-
standing.

You must have the convention of stripping text after "-- ". There are two
configuration options that control this, and you have set at least one of
them. It's either "enable-sigdashes" or "strip-from-sigdashes-on-reply".
Pine uses the convention of stripping all text after the dashes, although
some people clain that the convention is to only strip the paragraph after
the signature.

As you have seen Pine does not help you when the sigdashes are present and
are not in the right position. The only thing you can do, is to apply a
patch called "New Menu for the Reply Command" which you can get from my
site (addres below), which would allow you to override this option on a
case by case basis, leaving the default intact. Instrcutions on how to
apply/use the patch are in my site.
