Hi phil,

This is *definitely* the problem with tear-lines.

(also uses PGP signing)

Which is a fair enough point.

Not  at  the level of a few lines of signature, for sure, but at other
levels  -  like  sending GIFs and JPGs and (spit, spit) HTML mail <g>.
Don't  forget  that  bandwidth  is  *always*  an issue where calls are
charged per-minute - which is almost everywhere but the US.

No  bug - no problem. The bug is probably in PGP ISFA it is disrupting
the tear-line.

No problems for me - I just cut the bits I don't want to quote. :-)
