I use a similar filter file, and it works well for replies, but not for
forwards. The problem is that the lines "--------begin forwarded message---"
and "----- end forwarded message-------" enclose the whole body being
forwarded, INCLUDING THE SIGNATURE LINES. I would like the signature lines to
appear after the "-----end-----" line. 

Is there an easy fix for this? (I'm using MH6.6; will soon upgrade to 6.7.)

Also, there seems a bug in the filtering, so that the component strings like
"> " appear every so many characters; seems like a buffer overflow somewhere.
Is this fixed in 6.7? The 6.7 changes doc does not say so.
