Standard unvalid signature then, ok.

This is from a single mail, before and after it got munged by the
mailing list software? If not, *are* the mails changed that way? In
what way are they changed? If possible, attach one of your mails from
your outbound folder and from the list folder. (I'm not sure the
others would approve though, so send the mails to me privately. Let's
keep the discussion on the list though.)

So whack it over the head. These things can be changed. What software
do they use? What does the list provider say? What does the creator of
the mailing list say?
