I don't know if we've got the correct version of Pnews. According to
the patches I've been applying, we have the correct version. Isn't Pnews
supposed to add (or ask to add) .signature tp articles for UN-moderated
groups, too? Ours doesn't. I think it should. Anybody know?

According to my understanding of the matter, most 2.10.2 inewses add the
.signature file, so Pnews shouldn't, or there'd be a double signature.
According to the Posting-Version of your line, unisoft is running 2.10.2.
This would seem to indicate that somebody disabled the feature in the
version running at unisoft. Or is the .signature code a late addition to
2.10.2?
Maybe we should make a rule that anything that adds .signature should check
for the "-- ", so as not to add a signature if there already is one. That
would be easier in the long run than for front ends to try to second guess
whether delivery programs are going add signatures or not. Then all we have
to do is to get everyone to change their software. :-(

P.S. I don't use .signature myself so that I can put cute P.S.'s in like this.
I just have this nifty emacs keybinding that includes ~/.mysig, is all.
