LifeLines allows you to put into the file almost anything
the GEDCOM spec allows, and a few things it doesn't.  Most
programs are not that flexible.  For example

0 @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 INDI
   1 FAMC @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   1 FAMC @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 FAM
   1 HUSB @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   1 HUSB @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 INDI
   1 *** F

Technically this is not legal in the GEDCOM spec.
Even in LifeLines, how do you display it on screen
or re****t (GEDCOM displays don't count)?

    A UNIX signature isn't a return address, it's the ASCII equivalent
    of a black velvet clown painting.  It's a rectangle of carets
    surrounding a quote from a literary giant of weeniedom like
    Heinlein or Dr. Who.
