ExSign

Custom Delimiters

A delimiter is a marker, a symbol, line, or sequence of characters that separates a signature from the rest of an email's content. ExSign lets you define custom delimiters so it can more reliably tell where a message ends and where a signature block belongs. Delimiters make it easier for email clients, parsers, and recipients to identify and handle the signature separately from the email body. 

This probably matters most in reply/forward chains, where ExSign needs to tell your original message apart from quoted history to place a signature correctly.
