Your message (the one I am replying to) is a MIME multipart message,
and the mailing list tagline is in a separate part from your message,
so your signature delimiter doesn't (and shouldn't?) affect it. If you
had sent a simple plain-text email it would probably not get quoted
like that. You can try it on this message, which should hopefully be
in plain text :)
