This one verifies OK:
OpenPGP Security Info

Good signature from Thomas BOHN <thomas at bohnomat.de>
Key ID: 0x69274BBB / Signed on: 6/21/09 12:08 PM
Key fingerprint: 708B 345F 0936 633F 0E08 7C1E 61C7 F5B5 6927 4BBB



And there's the difference (apparently):
This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156)
--===============1988148558==
Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/pgp-signature";
	micalg=pgp-sha256; boundary="Apple-Mail-1-1005311242"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156)
--Apple-Mail-1-1005311242
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed; delsp=yes
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable


Please note the difference with your previous post:
this one is 'charset=WINDOWS-1252; ------
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Someone in this forum indicated that "quoted-printable" would solve the
issue.
