Well, on that post I got:

gpg: Signature made 05/27/06 23:37:32
gpg:                using DSA key 0xC1550505
gpg: BAD signature from "David Topping <snipped>"

First, try upgrading to 1.4.3 - 1.4.2.1 and earlier have a bug wrt.
non-detached signatures verifying signatures as "good" where non-signed
data has been injected; more at <http://www.gnupg.org/>.

I couldn't find a user-agent string in your headers, but assuming you're
using Outlook Express: have you looked at GPGOL
<http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpgoe>?

It's possible that this is a word-wrapping issue, but since I neither
use Outlook Express or Usenet, I can't really comment any further.

HTH,
