Prolly safe, but it misses german Outlook quote

  "-------- Original-Nachricht --------"

and yes, it has different amount of dashes :-O Also it misses finnish
quote (for two obvious reason).

  "-----Alkuperäinen viesti-----"

Would ^-----+\s*\S+[ -]\S+\s*-----+$ do the trick and not give false
positives?

ps.  I have occasionaly thought of configurable quote etc. regexen.
Would anybody else use such a feature?  Or should we go all the way to
state-transition-hook for state machine parsing message body?  :)
