This may happen, when some mail servers add a line break within the long line. This invalidates inline signatures. > If Thunderbird changes the line wrap > after signing I would see this when I look at the e-mail in my send > folder, wouldn't I?

Best choice is to use PGP/MIME - it doesn't have this problem. It's always better to avoid problems than to find and optimize workarounds. Which of your mail contacts cannot use PGP/MIME? Can you convince them to use newer software which is PGP/MIME capable? Ludwig
