Yeah, that's what I had remembered-- that Lugnet picked up on signatures at
least when they adhered to the standard. I've never been one to take specific
notice, but I was under the impression that most readers would automatically
prepend "-- \n" to your signature... Guess there's no way to guarantee it
though, and it sounds like that's not really even all that common? Oh well.
