Gil,

Your sender would not happen be use of the free Hotmail service would
they? I have had problems sending signed and/or encrypted messages
through their service. They are opening and adding Hotmail taglines to
the messages sent thought their service thus invaliding the signatures
and encryptions. The same problem could be happening to other service
providers depending how they operate. The Hotmail problem occurs if I
use the online webmail or not.
