Ralph,

I don't know the reason, but you need to add "<br>" at the end of each
line (even though we are not using HTML, just plain text).  That will
give you line breaks.  At first I thought it would have been \n but it
wasn't.

Can I suggest you add '-- ' to the point in your signature, probably
below your name so that the .sig can be stripped when replying and
forwarding by common mail clients.

Cheers,
Chris
