In this case some MTA between you and the mutt.org mailer altered the message, which caused the signature to fail. Nothing more can be done to guarantee a good signature short of replacing all the buggy MTAs in the world or adopting a scheme like PGP/MIME. (The signature is good here, so no buggy MTAs in the path here this time). This is the risk one takes using traditional PGP signatures: occasionally a signature gets broken in transport. -- David Ellement
