Ok - but when sylpheed says that it's a bad signature, then I'd be inclined=
 to=20
think that the signature really is bad - and then you won't be able to veri=
fy=20
on the cmdline either (except if you happen to suspect what the problem was=

an extra newline added/removed during transport is a possibility, another=20
problem was that some versions of evolution tended to change MIME boundarie=
s,=20
yet another problem  (kmail this time) was that lines beginning with From=20
would be escaped (or unescaped) to >From (don't remember in which direction=

this went).  But unless you happen to know quite exactly what happened, you=

probably won't succeed at all.

If possible ask the sender to re-send it (perhaps signed inline, or send it=
 as=20
an attached signed file); or ask other recipients (if any) if they could=20
verify the signature.=20
