Something on your mail path is doing subtle modifications to passing
messages, instead of transporting them as they are. I'd suspect MTAs,
anti-spam, or most probably your MDA. Last time I saw a similar problem,
the culprit was a Perl MDA built around Mail::Audit.
Here "badtest" first gave me BAD sig. Then I edited it, adding here
and there some empty lines inside the MIME structures (as normally
generated by Mutt): Good sig. You should be able to see differences
between badtest and your original message in $record.
So: Not a Mutt bug. We need to locate the culprit software, and
reassign this report to the appropriate package. Do you agree?
Bye! Alain.
