He uses:
        Sylpheed version 0.9.4claws (GTK+ 1.2.10; i586-pc-linux-gnu)
And you use:
        Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1106

Perhaps Outlook doesn't like a Content-Type of multipart/signed?

Or maybe you don't get any direct mail from anyone using Sylpheed.  Or from 
anyone using multipart/signed with PGP.  Maybe you should have Charles email 
you directly and see if it's the same.

By the way, do remember to start a new thread when you change the subject.

Maybe.

Or maybe Sylpheed is doing it wrong.  (Or deliberately in an incompatable
fashion.)

Or maybe the mailer software is messing it up.

I've never had anybody complain to me about having difficultly directly
sending me a message.  Other than the message disappearing due to spam
filtering, of course, but that's done by my ISP and is outside of my
control.

I suppose that could happen, but it seems to only happen with a few lists I
subscribe to.  So I thought the problem might also be the mailing list
software making some changes or something when it forwards a multipart
message.

Yeah, I forgot.  You'll get over it, though.  It's not going to kill
you.
