Well, for me (mutt 1.5.20-9+squeeze2 and GnuPG 1.4.10-4) that mail did 
have a valid signature (for Sams part as explained by him):

gpg: Unterschrift vom Mi 16 Jan 2013 01:28:20 CET mittels DSA-Schlüssel ID 
81E550E2
gpg: Korrekte Unterschrift von "Sam Varshavchik <mr...@courier-mta.com>"
gpg: WARNUNG: Dieser Schlüssel trägt keine vertrauenswürdige Signatur!
gpg:          Es gibt keinen Hinweis, daß die Signatur wirklich dem
vorgeblichen Besitzer gehört.
Haupt-Fingerabdruck  = 7F87 3288 3015 BF63 BC71  7A5A C7DA 7719 81E5 50E2
