Konermann's SHADE did the trick for my M7 until I broke it and got a 
new camera from Leica:

http://www.konermann.net/shade.html

It really works, although it does cause the framelines to become 
dimmer. They never became invisible, but in a very dark room, they 
weren't their usual DAYGLO selves. I must say the new M7's 
rangefinder is flare free. I spent a whole afternoon trying to induce 
flare and it just won't flare. This is using the finder technology 
from the MP, so if you have an MP you know what I'm talking about.

If anyone wants a SHADE, I have one fresh from an M7. :-)  $8 
includes shipping in the U.S. :-)
