Slightly OT: PGP/MIME verification fails with new KMail2 and Thunderbird 13.0

[Branko Majic]

As a curiosity, could you have both clients save the message in raw
format somewhere on the disks, and compare if they're the same with a
checksum?

Maybe there's some misbehavior with the line endings in terms of *nix
vs Winblow$ (so checking with cat -v would also be a good idea)? I know
that at some point I managed to corrupt an Apache configuration file
by copy/pasting stuff from KMail into terminal (but that was very long
time ago), there were some "invibisble" characters pasted in the
process.
