First, I'm sorry you had problems accessing my key from the mit server.
(it *is* there...)

I'm glad you were able to find it on a search elsewhere.


But about the copy paste of contents...

Using a clipboard to copy an ascii armored text file can change it
slightly... And since only the exact same file including the same white
space characters can be verified with the embedded sig, ANY change can
cause the "bad signature"...

I would recommend actually using your email clients save attachment
function instead of trying to use copy and paste.

I only tried using an attachment because I've heard that some mail relays
change the message body enough to sometime cause an "bad signature" and
I thought that as an attachment, the mime encoding would have
protected the text document from being so modified...

Turns out, it was a bad idea.
