One of the most annoying results of over-quoting is the inclusion of
multiple signature blocks in the resulting message. For those vim
users out there, the following macro works quite well:
normal :g/^> -- *$/,/^$/-1d^M^Lgg
It will truncate the message in the current buffer to just before the
'-- ' signature delimiter.
If you use mutt as your mail client, the following autocmd will
automate the process:
autocmd BufRead mutt* normal :g/^> -- *$/,/^$/-1d^M^Lgg
