usually signature delimiter is "--=20" (which is two dashes and space). But, KMail puts there "=2D-=20", which is also two dashes and space, but misleads some other mail clients (as Pine). Couldn't it be just '--=20'? '-' is not a special char so it would have to be escaped, is it?

The implementation is there since ages and it seems it has to do with multipart MIME messages, where the boundary of a part starts with "-".
Therefore, we'll keep the code as it is.
