  Does anyone know how to prevent the removal of message content after the — when using the post-by-email tool? I believe this is happening because… according to the Support page:

  Post by email will automatically remove any email signatures that match the standard signature block pattern:
  —
  (that is dash dash space)

  I am trying to auto-post-by email and unfortunately many of the bulletins include the — just after the bulletin header. The result is that the bulletin header is posted but the rest of the content is removed.

  cheers and thanks!

  @warningprepmeteorologist – it seems you’ve already discovered why your content is being removed. The only thing I can tell you to do is not post “–” in your post-by-email posts.

  Are you trying to add a line between your header and the content? If so, you could always enter equals signs “==” to separate your content instead.

  I hope that clarifies things! Let me know if you have any questions.

  Ok thanks. I have no control over the format of the bulletins so it seems a solution is not possible.

  thanks for your time.
