      When trying to remove mail signatures beginning with - from comments, putting split regex with -$\ or ^-\ does not catch the signature mark

      (-)

      Steps to Reproduce:
      Create mail handler with type "Add a comment before a specified marker or separator in the email body" with split regex = /^/ or /$/

      Expected Results:
      JIRA should remove all text following the - beginning a line on the message content
      e.g.:

      This is the message content
      -
      Marcus Silveira
      Atlassian Support
      

      JIRA should add 'This is the message content' as a comment.

      Actual Results:
      JIRA adds the whole message, with the signature.
