but that mail was PGP/MIME formatted. So I don't think it is quite as simple
as what you are saying.

This was Ethan's signature:



--MSd2ShuMixI0uVaZ
Content-Type: application/pgp-signature

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.0.1 (GNU/Linux)

--MSd2ShuMixI0uVaZ--



this is Pollywog's signature (the reply to that last message):

oh wait, yes they are the same. Why XFMail is doing this, I don't know
(as I don't use it myself). Perhaps this is a bug in XFMail.
