I've been trying to get mutt (1.2.5i) working, and have had
fairly good success until I started fiddling with gpg.

I've got gpg 1.0.3 installed and working -- I can generate detached 
signed/encrypted messages without any trouble from the command line. 
The problem arises when I try to verify a detached signature. 
Sending myself a signed note works fine, and checking my "sent-mail" 
folder shows "gpg: Good signature..." on the email I've sent.

However, when I receive the inbound copy of that email from the 
mailserver (vie fetchmail 5.5.0 and my local MTA, courier) the same
message shows a bad signature.  All pgp signatures (including those
seen in this forum) register as "bad".

I would have thought fetchmail or courier was munging something, but
the I tried writing the MIME parts (text/plain and pgp/signature) from
both versions of my test message to files, then checking with gpg.  
Neither one works.  Somehow, mutt must be generating a signature for a
slightly different file than the one I am.  Any thoughts?
