I have seen the same problem on Mozilla 1.a Alpha running on RedHat Linux AS
2.1.  Looks like this is a confirmed issue. I removed the space before the
newline character and the sig showed up OK.

I can confirm that this issue still exists on Mozilla 1.3.1 running on Windows
2000. It's reproduceable (always).

This is a slightly special case of the dupe; the problem here is that the sig is 
stored within a <pre> block; when converted to plain text, the <pre>'s end-of-
line spaces are *all* preserved; and then the plain text is sent off as f=f mail 
without actually being formatted correctly (in this case, the spaces not 
stripped).
