For a mailing list, give the option to look for and remove a mailing list signature that gets duplicated over and over in the same message when people reply to emails from the list.

Usually the mailing list signature contains multiple lines and looks something like:

Quote:

---------------------
it discuss mailing list: discuss(at)itdiscuss(dot)org
Mailing List: http://itdiscuss.org/discuss
Web Discussion Board: http://itdiscuss.org/discuss-forum
Wiki: http://itdiscuss.org/wiki
Internet Relay Chat: irc://irc.freenode.net/citrt

I suggest keeping the first occurance of the tag and then cutting out all of the other ones. It also needs to recognize the pattern, one per line, even if it has other characters in front of it (ie, when people forward they start getting >, >>, >>>, >>>>... in front of them and it would need to chop these out.

Right now I have a script of my own that chops these out before handing it over to FUDforum, but it would be a useful feature to be built-in I think.
