Set a display_filter. This one strips well-formed signatures, leaving
list footers such as Mailman appends to all list messages:
  set display_filter="awk '/^-- ?$/{no=1;} /^___/{no=0;} no!=1 {print;}'"

This one cuts off everything from the signature down:
  set display_filter="sed -n -e '/^-- */q;p'"

You can test it on this message. :)
