Topic: Double dash in the message breaks message signing

Hi,

Adding a signature to the end of a message like this:


--
Programmer Excuse #16: Its a Microsoft bug.

breaks signing. FireGPG changes this to the following :


- --
Programmer Excuse #16: Its a Microsoft bug.

however GPG itself changes it to :


- - --
Programmer Excuse #16: Its a Microsoft bug.

Notice the double dash instead of a single dash at the start.

I guess FireGPG will need to add double dash too.

Thanks,
ismail

Hmm manually signing with GnuPG from commandline works though.
