Forwared Email from Yahoo problems

Recently I noticed I can't reply to email sent from traditional Yahoo
email setups and include forwarded text.

Any forwarded (from Yahoo) message (not the newest Yahoo, traditional)
seems to have a line starting with "--- "

That seems to be an internet standard from long ago indicating "stop
here".

Is there any way to get Pegasus to not stop there?

But it's not, as far as I know. Maybe you're thinking of the standard
signature delimiter, which is two dashes and a space ("-- ")

Anyway, I just tried responding to fresh and forwareded messages from
my traditional-interface yahoo account, and it seemed to work just
fine.

A snippet of such a message

[
~think would eventually be profitable.*
~--- On Wed, 7/16/08, John
}

I added the "~" to prevent parsing of "--- "

Pegasus won't include anything after the "--- " in a reply or forward
unless selected.

Looking at the particular messages causing problems with me, in raw
view, there are other characters that Pegasus just doesn't display in
normal view. All such problem messages have been from yahoo with mime
content.

Interesting, doesn't work here. Not an uncommon issue since it is
impossible to replicate everything easily.

This is really weird as such a feature has been requested for Pegasus Mail
and actually *not* been implemented yet: Otherwise it shouldn't only affect
only selected messages. Now here's the question: If HTML involved either in
the original message or in the reply/forwarded message or in both? Would it
be possible to get such a message for testing (remove dashes in my address
if you wnat to send one)?
