Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to about:config 2. Set mail.identity.default.suppress_signature_separator toggle configuration to true 3. Test. The "--" is still display above the signatures with multiple identities. This is the challenge. 4. The expected result is that the "--" is not display above the signatures with multiple identities. How to resolve this challenge?

I found a resolution

Steps to resolve: 1. Go to about:config 2. Search for mail.identity.id**********************.suppress_signature_separator 3. If you get multiple results, set ALL approprite resuts toggle configuration to true 4. Test. The "--" is not display above the signatures with multiple identities. Enjoy :)

Notes: • In step 2 above, the ********************** are wildcard characters to include ALL identities up to a large number if needed. For example, id1, id2, i3, i99999999999999, etc...

• Detail about what identity number (id) is associated with which account can be found into the prefs.js file. On Linux Debian, this file is located at /home/<YOUR HOME>/.thunderbird/<RANDOM PROFILE NUMBER>.default/prefs.js
