Preventing multple signatures in email conversation?

[Paul Hutchings]

Outlook definitely doesn't appear to do this, nor does mail.app on OS X which I used to have a small test conversation.

I take the point about not wanting to scan each and every email body for signatures, but doesn't MailScanner already do this in order to find/highlight things like phishing fraud?

It's not a show stopper, just mildly irritating if/when you bother to look at the end of an email discussion and notice 15 signatures appended :-)
