 PMFJI, but your sig delimeters aren't either - they are also missing
the trailing space. If this is to blame on the editor you are using or
on the newsreader - I can't judge that...
 If you are up to picking one's nose do it right ;)  Sig delimeters
must be "\n-- \n" - with a trailing space after the two dashes. Most
editors cut that off, like netscape's html-editor - even if you are
posting only plain-text! You have to choose explicitly the plain-text
editor within netscapes messenger for not loosing that.

 IIRC there is the speech that the newsreaders SHOULD permit using sigs
longer than 4 lines, or something like that. That 4 lines limit is a
SHOULD that MUST be interpreted as stated in the rfc2119, just FYI  ;-))

 Have fun, anyway!
