The Bat behave as YOU would like it to behave....

Thunderbird behave like I (and some others ;) would like it to behave

I'm not questioning superiority ;)

i googled a bit, and found:

The question of a proper signature can cause perhaps more arguments than
any other single netiquette issue (besides spam). Superficially, and
technically the main issues would seem clear:
* No more than *four* lines. Occasionally called the "4-line McQuary
limit".
* Use "-- " as the beginning marker.

Unfortunatly there is nothing about having two signatures in one
mailmessage...

no, but thanks, i'm not really interested in a discussion about email
clients, because they should simply do what u users expects from them.
