Error - signature verification failed
gpg: Signature made Wed May 14 12:46:38 2008 EDT using DSA key ID 295FD37F
gpg: BAD signature from "Clayton Simons (Should've been a doctor!) 
<claytosi at alltel.net>"

Your message's raw source shows:
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 (Windows/20080421)
X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.6

I don't know why signature verification failed (your message was not in 
HTML format).

A suggestion though: in in-line signed message, it's better to avoid 
starting a line with a dash, because the signing process will add 
another dash before, like in:

- -C

You wrote:
-C
(check your quoted message above, *after* verification that strips out 
the added dash), but in the signed message it came as:
- -C
I am not saying this is the reason why signature verification failed.

About an easy way to use "this" and still have HTML on, I reckon that if 
you use PGP/MIME format when signing only, or signing and encrypting (to 
a private recipient, *not* to a list), the html stuff *might* be 
preserved. I never touch html in messages.

Take care,
