Apparently not HTML?

"Test Mail", raw source of the message indicates:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

I suggested to Test Mail to check whether Thunderbird is set to wrap at
72 (it should be, ideally). If there's a too different wrapping setting,
that *might be* a cause for the bad signature.

Might be.
