I saw you message and my MUA says the sig is invalid (I use  
Balsa-2.2.6). But I sent a patch (a while ago) and the sig is OK, so  
perhaps you should give Balsa a try (OK I'm a bit biased here as I am  
contributing to it ;-).
Looking at the source of those messages, I realize that you use OpenPGP  
and I use another one (I think it is MIME signature or something). You  
probably want to see if your MUA has an option for that.
