Signature appears invalid when I reply to signed mail (OS X 10.7.5)

When I reply to a PGP-signed email, the recipient sees my signature flagged as invalid. This is not the case if I start a new thread instead of replying. I'm not sure if it also happens when the email I send is encrypted - I've seen it with signed but unencrypted mail.

I tried downloading the lastest nightly, and that didn't resolve this. I have GPGMail version 2.0a32 build 113825, and Keychain Access version 1.0b7 (1.0b7).

   Hey Eldang,

   Please re-download the latest nightly version of GPG Keychain Access. It shows for me as Version 1.0 (5370cd2) (113661n) and not 1.0b7 (which is an old version).

   Then retry.

   Thanks for getting back to me. I updated Keychain Access (and see the versions you listed now), and I'm still getting the same problem.

   One other thing I have learned is that it seems to be client-dependent. Other Apple Mail users seem to see my signature as valid, but a correspondent on a linux system (I think she's using Thunderbird & Enigmail, but have written back for confirmation) sees it as invalid.

   I heard back from my correspondent, and she's on:

   Thunderbird+Enigmail current on Windows 7. GPGwin 2.1.0.

   However, my latest reply to her apparently showed up as having a valid signature, so I'm going to close this thread. I'm not sure why the fix didn't appear to be immediate, but it looks like the update did sort things out after all.

   Thanks again!

   Eldang, the issue at first might have been that she didn't have your pub key and thus was unable to verify your signature. (Just a guess)

   Glad this is now solved and thanks for closing the discussion. We love thrrough users. :)
