Find the original message at news.gmane.org, save it, and use mutt
to reply to it.  Try it with your message from the command line:

  Message-ID: <20030807191923.GB4683@amtp.liv.ac.uk>

  (echo "article <$1>"; echo "quit") | nc news.gmane.org nntp |& less

and/or use slrn's ESC+l feature if you know the Message-ID, otherwise
you'll have to browse the recent articles.

You can also fetch the relevant mbox file(s) from lists.gnupg.org.

Please share it, and compare it to gvv (see "code" on my website), which
helps verify PGP/MIME signatures outside of MUAs.
