That's what I think, too, but the original requester is using (gasp) pico.

Most excellent! In fact, I'll go you one better (since this was, after
all, about cropping the quoted signature); I didn't realize that you
could chain +commands on the vim command line, but something like
set editor="vim +/^'> -- '$ +?^$ +nohlsearch"
should find the quoted (assuming you use >_ for your quoting, unlike
me) sigdashes line, delete from there to the end of the paragraph,
and then go back to the first blank line. I'd even bet that you could,
when faced with a correspondent like Ronny who uses no signature, press
'u' to undo the deletion if it goes bad!

Nah; I still like finding a way to let your editor, perhaps with help
from other tools, do it for you. Let mutt decide whether or not to
attach your signature and leave it at that.
