I was able to solve the problem. I'm replying to the list for everyone and for
 all future generations.

He was sending text and html as separate attachments.  For reasons that are
not completely clear to me, I was able to verify and decrypt the message from
inside Thunderbird/Enigma by selecting: View->Message Body As->Plain text.

So, people shou7ld always *send* plain text, but in case they don't, this
trick may help the situation.
