It is "-- " and a new line:

The formatting of the sig block is prescribed somewhat more firmly: it
should be displayed as plain text in a fixed-width font (no HTML, images,
or other rich text), and must be delimited from the body of the message by
a single line consisting of exactly two hyphens, followed by a space,
followed by the end of line (i.e., "-- \r\n").[1] This latter
prescription, which goes by many names, including "sig dashes", "signature
cut line", and "sig-marker", allows software to automatically mark or
remove the sig block as the receiver desires.
