--- Comment #2 from Hauke Laging <hauke at laging.de> ---
Embarrassing... but I have to correct some of my statements and guesses.

Meanwhile I have found the difference between the emails with valid signatures
and those with invalid ones:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

That's the problem. All emails with this encoding have invalid signatures. The
problem has nothing to do with the newlines.

The sometimes "missing" newlines between the text signature and the MIME
seperator are due to different identities I used for composing the emails. Of
the two text signatures of those identities only one had a trailing newline.
This effect was due to the change from KMail to KMail2 (because KMail2 killed
the KMail configuration and I forgot the newline when restoring the identities
manually).

Both identities (with and without trailing newline) can create valid and
invalid signatures. That just depends on it whether non-ASCII characters occur
in the message.
