That bit's easily explained -- the PGP trigger token (begin pgp 
signed..., not duplicating it exactly here to prevent a similar problem) 
remained in the material quoted (several levels deep, in fact) from an 
earlier post.  Your client obviously triggered on it even embedded in the 
quote, however, understandably rather confusing you.

You might consider filing that as a bug with SeaMonkey upstream, since 
trying to PGP-verify within a quote is fraught with so many problems, 
including attribution confusion if by some miracle the quoted material 
can be correctly detected and separated from the quote markers and hasn't 
been rewrapped or otherwise damaged, so that it actually does verify, 
that it's not a good idea.  The problem of course is knowing that it's a 
quote and thus not to trigger, but being a part of a multi-line block of 
text with initial ">" markers is reasonable enough indication of it being 
in a quote, I'd say, even if other styles of quoting aren't so accurately 
detectable.
