Ahh, now I see... I thought you were having a problem reading the signature or 
something, now I see that it's Pine that won't let you read it if you can't verify it.  My 
apologies :>

The only reason that mail gets signed like that is because I have the check in 
Pegasus Mail to automatically clearsign messages, so I don't have to think about it.  
Perhaps I'll have to either find a way to force it not to do that when I mail the list, or 
just remove that altogether.

Sorry for the confustion.
