How's that for a bad idea?

Since it seems to be using Mozilla's branding, I reported it to Mozilla.

A customisation of FireFox is still a FireFox product ... no ?
FireFox is a mozilla product ... no ?

Mozilla's branding stuff isn't licensed under the MPL.

There should be a checkbox somewhere in avast! to disable its
spamvertising misfeature.

There is. Under "Settings", "Active Protection". Click the little gear
icon in "Mail Shield" and uncheck the box for "Scan outbound mail SMTP".

At least if it was a proper sig delimitor I could hide it using the
options in Quote Colors add-on. -;)

Isn't there any way to have it continue to scan outgoing mail but
without the advertising being added to the mail?

These instructions have been posted for other unaware Avast users:

From the avast UI > Settings > Active Protection > Mail Shield > Settings
(gear icon) > Behavior - General section > "Uncheck" Insert note into
clean message (outgoing).

You do not need to scan outgoing or incoming email or news posts.

Beauregard is right. I didn't drill deep enough into the menu. Since
there really isn't any need to scan outgoing mail (unless you are
forwarding email that you haven't scanned incoming), I didn't think to
go deeper after unchecking scan outbound.
