Evolution only include one dash above signature

[Jeffrey Rolland]

Binary package hint: evolution

Hello, all!

When I go to send an email, Evolution only includes one sig dash (-) instead of the traditional two (--). If I switch to a new signature, it displays the two dashes; if I then switch back to my original signature, it then includes the two dashes. Evolution just started doing this, I have no idea what the problem is.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex.

The problem is reproducible. I just reply to an email.

Sebastien,

I don't know how to take a screenshot; can you provide instructions or a
webpage?

PS Below is a reply with one sig dash
