You are sending your mails in HTML format and you are trying to use 
inline PGP signatures. This doesn't work. The HTML formatting breaks the 
inline PGP signatures. There are two ways to make it work:
a) Tell Thunderbird to send plain text messages instead of HTML 
messages.
b) Tell the Enigmail-plugin to use OpenPGP/MIME instead of inline 
OpenPGP for signatures.

The third option you have is to do a) and b), i.e. send OpenPGP/MIME-
signed plain text messages. That's what I do.

Regards,
Ingo
