Oftentimes, the individual replying to You uses a Mail Client that
doesn't strip off Your prior Signature armor block and neither do they
do so manually. [far too many folks _never_ clean their replies]

When GPG encounters the Signature Block embedded in the Reply it
'stumbles' and refuses to verify it.
