Hmmm Although likely NOT the cause of that doublespacing, or it
would be consistent.

But as I see the doublespace too, and as it affects the sig and not the
main post text, it must be something that thinks it know about sigs.


Interesting: good point! Only his .sig was doublespaced, not his message
text. (At least, I don't think so.)

And it must be something at source.


I don't think so, if you mean something at Motofox; I've seen posts from
him that both do and don't have the doublespaced .sig.

Sigtest here
More sigtest
(Not sure that two dashes and a space is all it takes to indicate a sig, but
here goes...)


Oh, it is. Newline dash dash space newline - i. e. dash dash space on a
line by itself - is indeed a .sig separator, according to some RFC. (I
had to override my news software to get it to quote the above; normally
it'd have snipped it.)

And neither your text above nor below the delimiter is appearing
doublespaced ...
