How can I remove the two hypens that are automatically added above my signature file?

When I compose a new blank message in Thunderbird, the signature file contains two hyphens that are added above it...like so:

(blank page) --

My signature

The problem is that when I _reply_ to a message, those two hyphens are not there. It's just "My signature."

What I would LIKE to do is have my signature actually look like this:

--My Name My Title


But now, when I do that, it looks like this when I compose a new mail:

-- --My Name My Title

It only looks correct when I'm replying to an email. Since the whole point of a signature is to not have to keep fiddling with the same information, I'm hoping there's a way to turn off those pesky two hyphens so that the only hyphens will be ones I've put in the signature myself.

Thank you for any help!

Thank you! That's super helpful and fixed it. Now a follow up, if there's a purpose, will keeping the "--" in my reply (as shown below) be helpful? Or does it have to be separated onto its own line?

--My Name My Title

(There's still a "--" there, just has my name after it.)

Again, thank you!

THe best solution in such instances is to send a few emails to yourself and reply. In that way, you will exactly how it looks in case you want to make any tweaks.
