I don't have a lot to suggest, but a couple of things pop to mind...

Heh.  I bet you're just drowning in the flood of details! :-)


% investigations but thanks for your ideas, I'll pass them to this

% (text/plain) PGP messages. 

Have you tried sending a really-and-truly just-ASCII message for him to
verify?  I haven't played with 1.5 to know one way or the other, but the
way $p_c_t works (or used to) is that it is only good for ASCII, and if
you throw in attachments or other charsets then it will roll back to MIME.  
Now admittedly these messages, with your scands inside, are also in-line
signed, but I wonder if that's entirely healthy.

% What is CT parameter?

The Content-Type header.  Look back at the first quoted line here in this
reply :-)

% Weird. 

Weirder still, it's good for me!

% So, as I suspected, Mutt 1.4i seems to have some problems verifying
% signatures from 1.5.1.CVS. Or am I completely wrong about this? It's

Nope; both of your messages were fine.  That sorta shoots a hole in my
theory that you should stick to plain us-ascii for in-line signing, but I
still say it's worth following up :-)


HTH & HAND
