First off, it's enough to include the URL -- no need to quote the text at
that URL.

I've already offered to include in the above OLOCA entry a link to a page
that lists methods for fixing reply quoting in many mailers.  Are you
willing to maintain such a page?

Umm, actually, no.  Feel free to leave any raw addresses in the signature
intact -- people who place them in the signature usually know what that
entails and shouldn't expect these addresses to be fixed for them.
That's exactly what the quoted sentense below was intended to say -- if
it's unclear, I'll gladly accept alternative phrasing.

This, of course, is aside from the fact that it's usually unnecessary to
quote the signature, as the below link suggests.  However, if the
signature *is* quoted, there's no need to remove the raw e-mail addresses
from it.
