Looking at all the nitpicking in d.homepages.authoring, I think the corrct
sigsep is <CRLF>-- <CRLF>. But that's me nitpicking.

A good idea would be to point out that it should be added into the sigfile
so it could be used. Then again, you could add an option inside the general
prefs to allow POPwatch to either add it or not. Those that don't want it
can turn it off, while those that do can turn it on.
