Intuition tells me you nailed it! I've been around pan long enough to know the types of bugs/quirks it tends to have, and doubling the sig on line-wrap fits the description to a "tee"! Classic pan-style bug! FWIW, 0.134 includes a number of patches to the general body wrapping code. Perhaps some attention needs to be paid to the sig-wrapping, as well. If that proves to be it and khaley hasn't popped up saying it's fixed in git within a few days, please file a bug! It's quite possible all that needs to happen is that a fix already applied to the body-wrap code needs applied to the sig handling code as well, and even if not, sig- duplication, now that it's known to be a problem, should be a reasonably easy thing to spot and fix in the code... I think. So this one shouldn't be /too/ hard to fix (speaking as a non-coder but with some bug filing and fix-testing experience). -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
