[MlMt] Triggering markdown with 'complimentary close' above signature

I think my original question/observation has become lost in the thread, 
and I may not have phrased my last remark well.

Initially, my sig marker was just <dash><dash> and what that caused was 
my closing salutation to be made into a header by the markdown 
processor, e.g..

best wishes
--

I have since been informed, and then verified that using 
<dash><dash><space> OR <space><dash><dash> as my sig marker, leads to 
the markdown processor ignoring the sig marker, and not treating it as 
if it was a header indicator, e.g..

best wishes
--

In the end, I think mail mate is likely behaving as it should, and I 
didn’t understand that the sig marker required a <space> after the 
dashes.

Sorry for any confusion I have caused,
