You are probably feeding garbled messages to gpg. Maybe you incorrectly downloaded those messages (e.g. using text mode for binary files) BTW, your message had a signature of 17 lines wheras 4 are generally considered as acceptable. Furthermore the longest line had 571 characters which is in violation of rfc2822 (Internet message format). Please tell your postmaster to read the Netiquette and fix this footer. A message "confirms .. has been swept by .. for the presence of computer virii" is plain nonsense and just shows that the folks who wrote this software have no clues about security issues.
