Check the Mutt code in regards to this - I've used it for about 4 years
now, and never had any problems with its GnuPG handling. I've been
posting to Debian, KDE, internal, and other mailing lists for aeons,
every message signed, and no bad signatures, ever.

Well, except for this one mailing list that just corrupted the signature
block, but that's not any MUA's fault. :)
