Do you mean the problem is not with Pan after all?  "The

saving the signature file.  It just reads it as far as I can
tell.

I think Ben has shown that it doesn't. 

 I think BMH is not using a sig file.  The bottom line is that pan can
do what BMH wants, but he's doing something that does not work.
Unfortunately his explanation is unhelpful because his sig (as posted)
is not getting "more and more corrupted" so it's not at all clear what
he's seeing.
 I've tried /not/ using a sig file and that also seems to work.  The
posting.xml configuration file /is/ written every time pan closes, but
it appears not to be getting corrupted.
 

According to my understanding, one of his requirements is automatic
attachment of random rude phrase to the end of the signature.
Does your solution handle that?
