This seems close to your Version D?

Update:Unfortunately, the operative word in that sentance is "looks". The reality when tested with longer text is that it does no wrappong whatsoever. My apologies.

I also got something that got closer by doing $line =~ s/\n/\r/g; and repeating the the last two lines in your original format a bunch of times. It wraps the long line ok and places the horizontal rule underneath, but then the rest of the sig just disappears into the ether. :( 

my $last_line_label = 'IMPRESSION/PLAN: ';

my $line =  'I discussed otitis media with her but since her ears are 
+normal today, we do not need to do anything with them.
