Yes, it would.  And for that reason it would be better if mutt had
options to turn some of these off.  However, with the exception of an
earlier post to this thread, I've never seen the string "^[-- " within a
message body.  (Yes, I know, I wouldn't see it even if it was there, but
when one is in a message body, it is usually surrounded by text that
indicates its presence.)  So for me, the annoyance of removing too many
of them is less than the annoyance of seeing all of them.
