Lest it has become inobvious from the thread over time:

    The problem here is not with trying to use the digital signature but the 
fact that adding it quite coincidentally makes Justin's emails unreadable by 
perhaps half of all list members (ie probably all using OE and maybe others 
too). The information is still there but is hard enough to read that many 
just wont bother. Removing the signature fixes the readability problem. As 
almost nobody here is liable to use the signature this may be considered an 
acceptable fix 'for now". Odds are that the incompatibility/ies that caused 
this will crop up in other ways in due course.
