What I would like to see can't be accomplished with a simple regular expression.

The basic idea is to remove duplicated patterns (or signatures) that take up multiple lines. Email programs embed various text around the signatures as well (with >>) and I want those characters to be deleted as well.

I also don't want to delete all patterns found. I want the first occurrence of the pattern to remain and then all other duplicated versions to be removed.

Also, it would be nice if the user could paste in the signature he wanted filtered and clearly see the pattern you want to be removed, instead of forming this complex regular expression, and pasting all of that into a little box. I would prefer the program to build the regex by inserting the \n for me.

I would also want to be able to filter multiple patterns in this way (to take out Yahoo signatures, and other advertisements).

This is what my program that I have written does, it filters the message and removes these patterns before handing it over to FUDforum.
