Evolution uses GnuPG (gpg) v1.4.11 to handle encryption and signature
verification.  The signature on this email, to which I'm replying, _did_
fail.  Evolution reports, FWIW:

gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux)
gpg: Signature made Tue 15 Jan 2013 06:28:20 PM CST using DSA key ID 81E550E2
gpg: using PGP trust model
gpg: BAD signature from "Sam Varshavchik <mr...@courier-mta.com>"
gpg: binary signature, digest algorithm SHA1

This message, to which I'm replying, will do.
