Peter, this is exactly what I found with the headers from this one
individual:

but he denies that would lead to a broken PGP signature. I'm trying so
hard to ascertain why Clients like TB!, and other non-HTML based/capable
Clients, always show PGP clear-signed messages via Eudora as being "bad",
which as I said before, indicates the message content has been altered
since being PGP signed. Other HTML Clients such as Outlook, Outlook
Express and Eudora, all seem to show those very same signatures as _good_,
and I'd truly like to know why. I'm looking for some common denominator
that would help explain the discrepancies.

Thanks again for your help.
