I don't know about that.  You marked the content type, which applies to the
entire message body.  I'm not sure I want want to go out of my way to support
posting in FTX from an NNTP newsreader either, if doing so means making
kludges like that.  :)

Maybe we could define some optional add-on header that says, "Please interpret
my sig as plain text even if I'm posting in FTX from an NNTP newsreader."

If you're using NNTP it's very unlikely that a .signature file is
going to be FTX-safe....  I think that an exception in this case is
warranted.
