[Enigmail] Failure to recognize signature of Signed+Encrypted mail from KMail.

  Recently a colleague migrated to KDE, and started using KMail as his
mail application.
  After a few messages I noticed, that the messages that my colleague
was signing were OK, those that were encrypted also worked fine.
  However messages that were both encrypted and signed were correctly
decrypted, but their signature was not detected and was visible as an
attached file in the decrypted message called signature.asc.

  Obviously attaching the encrypted mail will have no effect
whatsoever unless you get a hold of my private key.
  Hence I am attaching:
  1. The original mail (slightly censored) retaining the headers and structure.
  2. The decrypted content of the mail (slightly censored) retaining
headers and structure.

  Per request by a developer I will ask my colleague to send a test
message encrypted with both my key, and the developer's key, and send
it off-list.
