OK, with the one-liner sig-delimiter patch applied to svn-181/pan-0.124 the 
sig is fine (if it shows up fine in this post), but wow, look at that 
screwed up quoting! (Above, left as pan quoted it, blank lines and all!)



What about making it a bit /more/ than a one-liner, reusing the code that 
color-codes the sig to test for a sig-delimiter here, and only deleting the 
trailing space if that's what it is?  The quoting seemed fine, until that 
one-liner fixing the sig-delimiter.



(I should mention that this was the first time I'd replied to a pan 0.124 
post, however, so it could be there's a bug in the post causing all those 
blank lines, not in pan's quoting of it.)



(OK, now it's saying the sig is more than four lines long.  I don't see 
how.  Maybe I'll see when it's posted...)
