Weird error

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

I have a message which successfully decrypts and verifies on Thunderbird
and Enigmail, running on OS X.

The same message bombs out at the command line.


gpg: using character set `utf-8'
gpg: armor: BEGIN PGP MESSAGE
gpg: armor header: Charset: UTF-8
gpg: CRC error; 5341CC - DC3534
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 1, keyid 97B2C95A0569E3E6
	data: [2047 bits]
:pubkey enc packet: version 3, algo 16, keyid 7582ADCB684C50FA
	data: [3072 bits]
	data: [3071 bits]
gpg: encrypted_mdc packet with unknown version 255
gpg: quoted printable character in armor - probably a buggy MTA has been
used


When I try decrypting this message on an Ubuntu 8.04 box with
Thunderbird and Enigmail, it bombs.  When I decrypt it at the command
line on Ubuntu 8.04, it bombs.

This seems highly weird to me.  I have the original message, stripped of
header information and other assorted things, posted at:

	http://sixdemonbag.org/buggy_message.asc

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
