I had exactly the same symptoms and findings some monthes ago on
another list: All messages from one user had a space on the separator
line. He was using:
| User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3)
Gecko/20030312
| X-Enigmail-Version: 0.73.1.0
| X-Enigmail-Supports: pgp-inline, pgp-mime
| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Same results: Gpg 1.2.1 by hand or in Mutt 1.4 verifies some
messages OK some others not (mostly not), Gpg shows always full message,
Mutt always eats first paragraph. I contacted him but got no
cooperation, delayed then forgot to flea :-(.
Notes:
- His mails had occasionally spaces added or removed in quoted text.
- There is also a space on separator line inside sig bloc.
- All this was on an evil footer adding mailing list.
Bye! Alain.
