It would appear that Windows Live Mail is broken and doesn't understand sig

Wonders will never cease! I am going to say a good word for Microsoft,
and even its poxious mailer :-)

No, it's not broken, that so-called signature separator mechanism is.
It always was a stupid idea, perpetrated by a few ignorant fanatics,
sneaked into an RFC on other matters, and has never worked. If it
had used a less cretinous set of characters, it might have been
accepted by the mailer communities but, as it is, it never has been.

You could always use Linux.

Eh? I do, of course. But the purpose of Email always has been to
communicate with OTHER people, and has been a cross-system facility
since the early 1970s (well before SMTP).
