That won't work because the saved part is the *body* of the part and not the raw encoded bits of that part. It is the raw encoded part that is signed, not the decoded body. See my earlier response in this thread where I showed how this can be done manually. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/04/msg00766.html Basically you need the raw part which includes the Content-Type, Content-Transfer-Encoding and Content-Disposition headers too. The signature includes those headers. If the file you saved does not have those headers in them then you do not have the file that was signed and the signature cannot be verified. Bob
