Partially. You're configured to sign, and it looks like it signed OK.

BUT,
  OpenPGP Security Info

  Error - signature verification failed

  gpg: Signature made 08/10/08 01:26:12 using DSA key ID 61297A74
  gpg: BAD signature from "Lee Fugal <lee at fugal.net>"

The most likely cause of this is that you have Format=Flowed enabled, and it is
(I checked your message headers).

Be sure your line width is set to something <= 80 chars (e.g. 72 chars)
and turn off Format=Flawed.

Add the following lines to your user.js (or set the configuration value using
the config editor in Thunderbird's Advanced preferences tab (about:config in
Seamonkey)

  user_pref("mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed", false);
  user_pref("mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support", true);

In the config editors, locate the mailnews.<whatever> value and click it to
change the value as indicated.
