BULLET_MARKER_REGEX =

A single "-" or "" on its own line (ignoring surrounding blanks) is the way many mail clients render a plain-text bullet list item, not a reply or signature separator. Real separators built from these characters use at least two of them ("--", "**", "-----"), so excluding the lone case avoids discarding bullet-list content while leaving genuine separators (and every other delimiter character) untouched.
