Thanks; I'll mine those for any additional hints.

These are separate problems. The lists trash the signature by
appending that "to unsubscribe" notice to the signed text. That can be
turned off by the list admin, in which case the PGP signatures will be
OK. The list *ought* to append that trailer as a third, unsigned
section to the outermost multipart/mixed, so it doesn't interfere with
the signature yet appears on-screen. This is possible, but
complicated; enhancement already on file, but I haven't much hope of a
fix any time soon (and I'm not aware of *any* other lists that do that
either: all I know of either preserve sigs by not appending, or trash
sigs by appending).
But separate from whether the sigs get trashed or not, I suspect that
the problem Neels encountered (and, I'm assuming, Daniel as well) must
have something to do with the complexity of the MIME structure. I
could be wrong: my tests cases have nearly identical structure, yet
seem to work fine.
Since I'm posting into the list anyway, I'm appending a totally
useless attachment (a UTF-8 text file named "text-with-
ornaments.txt"), because one of the few differences between Neels'
sample and mine was a mixing of straight 7-bit ASCII and UTF8, and
another was sending the message to this list rather than my test list
(which I think is identically configured, but maybe I missed something
somehow). I'll check whether this attachment makes it through, no one
needs to tell me explicitly.
