Those were my intial thoughts. But, one of the software design
principles I've come across is:
"Be stringent in what you send and flexible in what you accept"

IMHO, making the program flexible for the user (it's really cumbersome,
having to manually edit out the sigs) is more important than trying to
stubbornly make everyone follow the standard.

But thats just my opinion.
I guess its a matter of individual perspective.

I suspected that most of the badly formed sigs were because of Outlook.
I guess, the problem's solved.
