Using the two-dash separator when top posting runs the risk of many clients (Thunderbird as a notable example) not displaying any of the message below the separator.
The three-dash separator solution was the result of a lengthy discussion several versions ago when the top-post option was implemented. It has worked perfectly for sometime now, and I and my organization (which is full of top-posters) would complain loudly if it were eliminated.
Hmm, not sure if I understand you correctly:
Does Thunderbird not offer an option to NOT remove anything below the standard sig dashes ("-- ")? I'm not using Thunderbird, so I really don't know that. But hard to believe that it does have no such option.
But if it does have such option, why not simply enabling it...?
Anyway, am I seeing it correct that the three-dash sig separator is not a standard then, but just a sort of, hmm, workaround for DAUs (please don't ask what a DAU is, too hard to explain ;-))?
