description

This file defines an alternative to the macro :                           map ,kqs G?^> *-- $dG It comes as a command. This time, VIM won't complains about not found ^> *-- $ pattern. BTW, It also deletes all the empty lines (quoted or not) just above the signature to delete. Older versions (for VIM 5.7) of the file define the function Erase_Sig(). The latest version (for VIM 6.x) defines the command :EraseSignature. It can also delete up to two signatures -- some mailing lists add another dashes-delimited signature. And it keeps our signature that may be automatically inserted by some MUAs like Mutt. Since v1.4: the operator-pending mode mapping '--' is defined. Hitting d--, c-- or y-- will delete, change or yank lines until our own signature (if present) or the end of the file.

install details

Drop the file wherever you want ; {rtp}/ftplugin/mail beeing, IMO, the best place. And uncomment the call to the command at the end of the file if you don't want the operation to be automatic ; you may want define a mapping (like ,kqs for instance) that will invoke :EraseSignature.
