Sig problems with Pan 0.144 on Win 10

I'm setting up a new PC running Win 10 and have installed 0.144.

But I can't make the signature line behave as it does on 0.140 on my Win7 PC.

The sig type there is text, and the text line reads

"-- --------------------------------------------                Dick 
Baker --contact via http://goon.org/contact.php"

and it displays in the message as

-- 
--------------------------------------------
                 Dick Baker
  --contact via http://goon.org/contact.php

But when I put that same sig line in 0.144, all that displays is

http://goon.org/contact.php


I have that same sig in a SIG.TXT file, but when I tell 0.144 to use 
that file for the sig, it displays the sig correctly in the outgoing 
message form, but what arrives at the newsgroup is just

I fear this will all be too confusing to parse in a text message, but 
if anybody has any guidelines on using a sig in 0.144, I'd love to 
hear about it.
