Thanks for the detailed report. In theory, I should be able to reproduce 
by simply sending a signed message to myself, but I don't have this 
problem. Based on your description, it sounds like a newline might be 
inserted during transport, but that doesn't sound very likely. In any 
case, try comparing the message in Sent Messages with thee message you 
receive. Is there any difference?

If they are equivalent: Try using “Message ▸ Reset” on the sent 
message. That should then, in theory, trigger MailMate to also fail on 
the sent message.

If they are not equivalent: Not sure. Maybe we should look into if the 
SMTP server plays a role.

I don't have other reports about this exact issue. I do have an issue 
about Kmail generated messages not being correctly verified by MailMate, 
but I don't think that is related.
