Apparently the RFC specifies that there must not be more than two parts to the message. The GPG sig is a second part, so the whole message has to be put into a container, so that MDV's footer can become the second part. Thunderbird, following Mozilla's path, was creating a containerised message, which is why messages from TB were correctly displayed. Once I managed to find out what the problem actually was it hasn't taken long for the maintainer to get it sorted. I wish I could think how I can get the equivalent information about the way that the MDV lists break GPG signatures when others can handle them OK. It has to be curable, if we can identify it, because Expert no longer does this. Unfortunately, spotting the small differences in configuration seems to be problematic.
