Sometimes my signatures are being counted as bad ones. But I figured out it is 
a bug on kmail or enigmail (there where bug reports on both implementations). 
Well, I'am just about tu figure it out, so there may be another issue instead 
of them both.

According to the question in the topic: inline signatures always worked, MIME 
didn't. I still wonder why, and after my next exams I'll investigate on 
that...

I use GnuPG (GPG) for E-Mail encryption and signing. If you want some privacy, 
my public key ID is 2F9D4F14. The file "singature.asc" this message includes 
contains a cryptographic signature which enables you to verify this E-Mail 
really was written by me.
