No, I don't have a real certificate, although I suppose I should get one... Any
recommendations for a CA?

Now that is strange. Anyway, here's a new datum point.
James Cutler sent me two emails with screen shots of a good and a bad email,
matching my analysis so far. His mails were encrypted, as was a recent mail
from Alex; all three of these mails came through with a 'good signature'
I suppose I'll just bite the bullet and install the new installer package.
