As a subscriber to the python-dev mailing list I received messages with
errors for example:

| OpenPGP-Sicherheitsinfo:
|
| Fehler - Überprüfung der Unterschrift fehlgeschlagen
|
| gpg Kommandozeile und Ausgabe:
| /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf8  --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 --verify
| gpg: Signatur am Fr 10 Apr 2009 15:31:46 CEST mit RSA Schlüssel, ID
| ED9D77D5, erfolgt
| gpg: Falsche Unterschrift von "Barry A. Warsaw <barry at warsaw.us>"

I asked Barry and he told me:


Hmm, what mail reader are you using?  I've just switched to signing my
messages with OpenPGP/MIME instead of PGP-inline.  I typically use
Mail.app 3.5 on OS X 10.5 with the gpgmail extension.  I've been able to
successfully validate my signatures with claws-mail on Linux and
Thunderbird on OS X.

Maybe your mail reader can't decode OpenPGP/MIME attachments?

Is there a bug in enigmail? Or have I to change an option?
