(Hmm, how weird. I really did send that with two paragraphs. Let's try again.)

When Eliezer seeks to acquire Rivka as a bride for Yitzchak, he negotiates with her brother and mother. Where was her father, Betuel, in all this? According to Rashi, Betuel sought to block the marriage, even in the face of a divine sign. Worse yet, he sought to block it by poisoning Eliezer. However, an angel of God switched the cups so that Betuel, not Eliezer, was poisoned. (24:55)

(I really need to get a Rashi instead of relying on secondary sources' citations...)

Oh, bet it's doing signature deletion. Pity the old Usenet convention (/^-- $/) never caught on for email.
