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

  My point is, that Enigmail does NOT digest the message, but rather
chokes on it, and spits the signature as an attachment in the
deciphered mail.
  Enigmail does not try to verify the attached signature (or at least
shows not signature results), leaving me puzzled as to why my
colleague does not sign his messages at all...

  I only get the 'OpenPGP: Decrypted message' heading, no reference to
signature whatsoever. And I see the signature as an attachment to the
decrypted mail.


  BTW. We only use encryption/signing for the mails sent between
colleagues, who use Thunderbird+Enigmail (and one uses KMail).
  I could care less for M$ mailers, but not much less.

  My desire is to have all the colleagues send and receive encrypted
and signed mails between ourselves, the 'outside' world is oblivious
anyway (like my wife and parents).
