+We'd probably need to do some like doing a diff. I find it annoying
+enough displaying both text and html copies of a mail. Displaying two
+copies of a message, just because one of them has a few extra lines as a
+footer would be equally annoying.
+
+Maybe it would be enough to ignore the signature too, when comparing messages?
