To avoid the error when there's no sigdash line, you could use the
attached function. (thanks to Luc Hermitte for this one)
Call it from your ~/.vimrc with the following line:
autocmd BufRead /tmp/mutt* :call Mail_Erase_Sig()
--
Cedric
function! Mail_Erase_Sig()
" Search for the signature pattern : "^> -- $"
let i = line ('$')
while i >= 1
" This pattern takes into account signature delimiters from broken mailers
" that forget the space after the two dashes
if getline(i) =~ '^> *-- \=$'
break
endif
let i = i - 1
endwhile
" If found, then
if i != 0
" First, search for the last non empty (non sig) line
while i >= 1
let i = i - 1
" rem : i can't value 1
if getline(i) !~ '^\(>\s*\)*$'
break
endif
endwhile
" Second, delete these lines plus the signature
let i = i + 1
exe 'normal '.i.'GdG'
endif
endfunction
