I think it's an enigmail issue. They list this as an advanced option:
'--' is a signature separator: when signing, lines starting with '-' are
replaced with '- -' by GnuPG according to the OpenPGP standard.
This however makes the lines no longer appear as separator between
the messsage body and a signature, which is normally displayed in
grey. By enabling this option, enigmail enables some workarounds
when reading and composing messages to treat such lines correctly.
This confuses gmail's little mind, as well, but that shouldn't
necessarily surprise us.
