Well, actually, I must admit that I didn't look right: When viewing
Doug's message, these markers are _not_ displayed. However, they are
displayed when viewing _your_ message. Difference: Doug's is in PGP/MIME
format, and yours is inline. The signed content is reaching until the
horizontal line, but this is not indicated as it should be. I think we
discussed this earlier on this list, but I cannot find an open bug right
now.

This should get better when using PGP/MIME format, but this can lead to
very confusing results if there are readers on the list with no PGP/MIME
aware mail clients. On this list, however, PGP/MIME is welcome and
encouraged - we all should have the right software.
