What type of digital signatures specifically? What email client?
I think they are usually PGP/MIME signatures that are not working
right. If you'll notice from my e-mail headers:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 
Thunderbird/24.2.0
X-Enigmail-Version: 1.6
It might be that Thunderbird doesn't properly handle messages with both
signed and unsigned content. I use mutt myself, which handles it just
fine. (the sigs on your emails verify just fine for instance)


It's possible that the enigmail extension is not working right, but I was under the impression that it is just feeding data to gpg and then receiving the response back. It's possible that your e-mail you just checked was not sent through mailman since I also replied directly to you explicitly (in which case the message has not been modified) and you probably have the setting in the mailing list set to not send duplicate messages if you are an explicit TO. I just deleted all explicit TOs for this message, so everyone should be receiving it through the mailing list and not directly. Is the signature still valid for you now? I think enigmail can handle messages with some signed and unsigned content, and maybe PGP/MIME inherently does not support this and a mailing list re-writing parts of messages is an expected action? If this message re-writing is an expected action and I'm correct that PGP/MIME does not support partially signed content, then maybe it is just a recommendation for this mailing list to not use PGP/MIME for messages sent to the list?

Can anyone else confirm?
