I see you're using claws, sorry -- guess I misremembered.
You can see an "=20" though in the quote, there at your
sig delimiter? It appears to replace the trailing space,
so that your sig is not delimited and shows in the quote.
 
Anyway, apologies to the kmail users.
Probably the mail2news is the culprit, as I've used slrn for usenet
for years and have it working extremely well on every other group.
Later I'll try setting up mutt for nntp just for this one group, as
it can pipe through lynx. Maybe that'll be easier to read.
