How to configure Thunderbird not to truncate messages pass the signature

[apollot...@gmail.com]

Many mail list have a feature to truncate messages pass the signature. The system is recognizing the "-- ".

Can some one tell me how to turn this default behavior off on Thunderbird so that when I click on reply or forward the whole message is quoted?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and input.

about:config

mail.strip_sig_on_reply

R click, select Toggle to toggle from true to false.

Note that this will only preserve signature blocks for E-mail.
Signature blocks for newsgroup messages will always be stripped per
Section 4.3 of RFC 3676.

I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can
be used when autocomplete=off. See

The wording in that section isn't consistent: it apparently uses
both "separator line" and "signature line" for a dash-dash-space
line. It says nothing about stripping the signature though.
