Just to be clear:  you see an enigmail signed-message confirmation when
you view that message?  I only ask because Jean-David Byer did not see one.

This is exactly the problem.

You did not send a PGP/MIME-signed message this time -- you sent an
inline PGP message, which behaves slightly differently.

however, i found an old PGP/MIME-signed message from you and used it to
send you a forged message privately.  It uses your old/revoked key, but
it's close enough :P

Attachment: signature.asc
Description: OpenPGP digital signature
