gpg doesn't recognize some sigs created with Emacs

[Enzo Michelangeli]

If Werner's UA sent a QP-encoded message (with "Content-Transfer-Encoding:
Quoted-Printable" header) it should also have escaped the '=' as '=3D',
preventing confusion at MTA (or receiving UA) level. It might be that
Sendmail assume QP-encoding also without the appropriate header, but it
would be a rather glaring bug...
