OK, I'll take your word for it that Pan is at fault.  But I also blame
you for continuing to use a signature that's corrupted before it leaves
your computer.  Consider either changing it or figuring out how to get
Pan to handle it correctly (you can use alt.test to test solutions).

I would have contacted you by email if I could.  If you want to discuss
this further, email me.  I won't continue this discussion here.
