Decrypting with GPG 1.2.1-nrl and Enigmail in Mozilla I got three 
sections of corrupted text. When I open my mail window full width I 
see these three sections exceed the width of the rest of the text and 
the corruption begins at the point where these sections exceed other 
lines, so maybe there's a line-wrap problem.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
