Well, it didn't use to be this way. It seems to have broken in the last few 
months.

No, it only seems to happen to me. That is, If I send a message to someone 
else it's normal and the sig is good. But if I send a message to myself, or 
to a mailing list and I then receive it myself, the sig is marked bad.

I can receive signed messages from other people just fine, however.
