It turns out both problems were already solved for me by Dialog!
-1- Dialog was smart in removing all the padding spaces before sending
-2- Therefore it doesn't matter how many (as long as it exceeds wrap count)
The characters +-=*.,~#% come in mind.
Another perfect solution! (I'm gonna type "CCC" (lowercase) now...)
You can also add a whole bunch of spaces
/prior/ "Regards,". If, afterwards, you type the autoreplace shortcut at
the end of a non-empty line, this will insert "Regards," at the start of
the /next/ line.
I'm still wondering, why "rb" doesn't work for you. It seems like the
perfect fit and works without problems on my system with English and
German dictionaries enabled. Did you add "rb" to a custom dictionary
sometime in past?

That also worked (see salutation below done using that method!).
That's perfect!
I'm going to type the salutation command at the end of this line.

I replaced spaces with dots for clarification: Seems my suggested method
has its limits when done multi-line. ;-)
The spaces will not be cited, though. (I manually needed to copy them back into the message.) It's a question of weighting pros and cons, then.
But how do you set a sig in Dialog that doesn't add the dash dash space?

I guess your question has been answered to your satisfaction (I tried
to follow the thread but got lost in Dialog specific technicalities),
but nevertheless I still feel the uncontrollable need to add my 2
cents. Which means I would do it by applying a simple keyboard macro.
Record these key-strokes: <CTRL>-F -> Fill in "-- " (to search for) -> <Enter> -> <Del> <Del> (to remove the .sig delimiter and its line) ->
<Alt-C -> "S" (to send now) or "e" (to send later), and that's it,
basically.
