Hello Daniele

It's probably an issue of Thunderbird, or maybe of your MTA. I have no
issue with a different client.

The original structure of Werner mail was:

multipart/signed
  text/plain
  application/pgp-signature


After going through the mailing list, it added the mailing list footer
as another part, so it became

multipart/mixed
  multipart/signed
    text/plain
    application/pgp-signature
  text/plain


Maybe you can check if you can view an email with this structure in
thunderbird source. If so, it's probably failing the "decryption"
(signature checking, actually), and just returning an empty block
there.

Best regards
