Thunderbird is smart enough to trim signatures if the first line of the 
sig is '-- ' (dash-dash-space without quotes).  This will also 
automatically trim the mail list footer if the message is in plain 
text.  Just now, in replying to this email, thunderbird automatically 
trimmed your sig, but not the footer.  Possibly because your original 
email was openpgp signed (thus was multipart) and the maillist software 
added the footer as an attachment rather than appending it to the text.  
Not a problem though, people should be trimming replies anyway.
