Misunderstood with my first reply at 19.14.
No, I am not putting an extra line feed at the end of my typed text.
When I open follow up to newsgroup there is a blank line below the 
other persons quoted text, then a blinking cursor ready for me to start 
typing my reply on the second line, then three blank lines below the 
cursor, then the two dashes and then the signature, that's five blank 
lines between the last line of quoted text and the two dashes.  If I 
use the 'text' signature instead of the text file signature that 
produces six blank lines between the other persons quoted text and the 
two dashes before I ever start typing.
Using MesNews this time which looks right.
