I don't think I agree that "Internet mail" is just mailing lists - most,
if not all, the mail I send and receive is "Internet mail" - not
everyone works in a corporate environment you know! There's things like
personal mail, academic communities, developer/FOSS communities and so
on.

BTW - much as I hate to point out a way around inserting the delimiter,
you can do it using a script signature.  Just remember that the script
needs to output HTML even if you use plain text email - and please,
start the script with "--&nbsp<br>".
