Description Ville Skyttä 2002-12-29 14:22:40 UTC 
I'm using Red Hat 8.0 and Pan 0.13.2.  If my signature is in ISO-8859-1, it
is not inserted into new messages.  Additionally, if I try to followup to a
message with this signature enabled, the original quoted message doesn't
appear either.  The message pane is blank in both cases.

OTOH, if I change the signature to be in UTF-8, things work just fine.

I'll attach both the UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 signatures.

Comment 3 Christophe Lambin 2003-01-09 21:58:45 UTC 
Signatures should always be in the locale's charset (how else would we
know what format it's in?). 

Fixed the case where this would blank a follow-up in CVS for 0.13.4:
