Maybe people could adopt an unofficial-official end-of-signature flag. Then you could have procmail strip everything after the flag: -- This is my signature My phone number goes here I like dogs -- end of signature -- Everything below here and to the right of here was inserted by my mailserver, which is run by lawyers who don't understand you can't enforce contracts through emails to public mailing lists. Please delete if you're not the intended recipient. Of course, when you route around something like this it usually comes back 10 fold, but maybe if it became worthless they might do things the right way and put stuff like this in email headers. X-Optional-Flags: Delete-if-not-intended-recipient, might-contain-secret-company-information-we-didn't-bother-to-encrypt Then let the email clients try to work out what that means.
Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block I thought that was in rfc 2822, but I can not find it.
