Eric, the convention is actually for Usenet rather than e-mail
lists, however it it is true that many e-mailers will recognise
it for what it means and dump the signature. However I should
point out that the convention is actually:
"-- "
which is hypen hyphen space followed by a hard return rather
than just the two hyphens that you mentioned. Small difference
but "--" has no meaning in Usenet terms other than that someone
hit the hyphen key twice!
HTH.
