No, its not my problem. I am using Pine/Linux/AIX with sigdashes enabled.
This normally strips off sigs on replies. When it doesn't, I tell people,
because it is usually that they have forgotten the "space".
However, I have an apology. It is not your mail, or rather it probably
isn't. It is the SURVPC List Server! I know my messages get sent with the
"dash, dash, space, return", because if I send a test message to myself,
and reply, the sig gets stripped away. However, my messages to the List
came back without the space!
Eko, you listening? What do you think?
BTW, isn't this one of the problems with the mail program from that other
OS? Aparently, the Redmond programmers set up the sigdashes correctly, but
then somebody decided they should strip trailing spaces from all lines on
sending messages...
