OK, I don't know what `rear-nonsticky' is supposed to denote
but '-- \n' isn't a field, with the fields it makes sense to
first go to the beginning of the field, then (as already)
there go to the beginning of the line ...

But on the signature delimiter - and only at the last char -
nothing happens at all.

A bug maybe?
