The zwrite-signature facility of zwrite is neat, but I would like to
see zwrite automatically place a blank line in between the signature
line and the message text.  It looks better.

The context diff below shows how to implement this -- it's a very
simple modification:

*** 175,183 ****
      message = NULL;
      msgsize = 0;
      if (signature) {
!       message = malloc((unsigned)(strlen(signature)+sizeof("From: ")+2));
        (void) strcpy(message, "From: ");
        (void) strcat(message, signature);
        msgsize = strlen(message)+1;
      }

        (void) strcpy(message, "From: ");
        (void) strcat(message, signature);
+       (void) strcat(message, "\n");
        msgsize = strlen(message)+1;
      }
