Hello Mutt-Users

First of all: I love mutt. It really rocks.

Ok. Lets get down to business. I tried to create a small script which
automatically verifies pgp-signed mails from mutt. I have a
mailinglist-archive for all of the mailinglists I get. But I want to
verify the signatures when the mails enter the archive. Afterwards I am
not anymore interested in the signature. It already works with
inline-signatures. Simple script, simple output. For the mime-signed
mails it doesn't work. :-(

Signed mail in file testmail. Using munpack I get signature (part2) and
text (part1)

munpack -t testmail

Now I thought using 

gpg --verify part2 part1

should verify the signature. But it doesn't work. I always get 

gpg: Signature made xxx xxx  x xx:xx:xx xxxx CET using DSA key ID
xxxxxxxx
gpg: BAD signature from "xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx (xxxxx)
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"

So I thought maybe munpack changes the content of the mail. I tried to
save the mime-parts using mutt. I saved the mail to part1 (deleting
part1 and part2 from the first experiment) and the signature to part2.
Trying to verify this new set of data I get the same result. BAD
signature. Verifing inside mutt works great.

So. What did I do wrong. Anything more I have to know about
mime-signed-messages?
