I've also noticed this. gpg says that the email in my sent box has a valid signature but the copy I get via the mailing list has an invalid sig whereas if I just mail myself its OK. I've wondered if this has something to do with the address displayed in the "From/To" column in the email client. If I mail myself this column has my email address and the sig is good whereas if I get one of my posts via the mailing list the "From/To" column has "newbie@linux-mandrake.com" and a bad sig. This could be a red herring but is the only pattern I see. Where does gpg get the email address to look up the sig for from?

I think it has more to do with the massage passing through the mailing list. It changes a couple of things, like the replyto address. It may also change something in the body of the message. Any changes to the body of the message make the signiture invalid.
