Because the perl script doesn't do qp decoding.

I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean here. Sorry. The bug reporting 
systems stops processing when it sees a sig delimiter. For the bug system 
it's equivalent to quit or thanks. I often relied on that to save some 
typing. Now the first dash will be escaped (regardless of whether it's part 
of the sig marker; it just encodes all F.- at the beginning of lines), so the 
bug tracker sees
=2D-=20
and tells me that's an invalid command. I'd like to fix that (oh, and maybe I 
add something that makes it skip the "-----BEGIN PGP...." lines, too, so Ingo 
and I don't need to remember to disable signing when sending to 
control at bugs.kde.org).

Where is the problem? It's an easy enough change and fixes this bug:
