Sorry I can't say where those \201\236 are coming from. Emacs is able to transparently represent "byte values" which would be an encoding error within an otherwise UTF-8 encoded buffer (actually it uses an extension of UTF-8 for that). To display that, it resorts to those octal escapes, \nnn. But no idea how they got in in the first place. What happens if you delete them? Do they reappear next time around? > And my sig is correct, I am running these setups.

Actually they should be mostly unnecessary, since the defaults should work more or less like that (but note that I may well have missed some detail!).
