It could be that one mail server on the way silently converts the
encoding of the sent messages. Look for this entry in the header
X-Mime-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit
or something similar ('sendmail' servers can be configured to do
this). If the original mail had "quoted-printable" encoding then
this auto conversion does change the message and I think that this
SHOULD break a PGP signature.
If you have Eudora installed yourself, you could toy with the
options and find out if it matters to send 8 bit data 'plain' or
'quoted-printable'.
BTW: if there IS a mailserver near you which does these conversions,
this could as well be the source of the accented letter problem in
your other post...
(An easy way to find out if mails do reach you untouched: this very
message should have "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" in
its headers. It leaves my machine like that and usually comes back
from tbudl unchanged)
