Neil has indeed found the culprit. I just made a test post, using Qedit,
and included a ^Z at the end. Sure enough, there was no signature
appended. (of course, I killed that test post :-)

Qedit doesn't add the ^Z automatically. You may want to try using it, or
a similar editor, instead of Norton.
