    I recently updated my Win7 pc to TB 68 + the corresponding
    Enigmail/GPG plugin.

    But signed clear-text email seems to be rolling out with:

    gpg command line and output:
    C:\Program Files\gnupg\bin\gpg.exe
    gpg: invalid armor header: Â \r\n
    gpg: invalid armor header: Â \r\n


    Signed clear-text messages from other people in this echo look good
    and process properly.

    So, I am testing one originating from this new TB68/Enigmail combo to
    see if the "invalid armor header" is a problem here.

    I'd hate to roll back TB. But maybe all I have to do is rollback the
    Enigmail plugin version?

    THANK YOU.

    Something is wrong with TB 68 + Enigmail. I am guessing it might have
    to do with using UTF-8 for message encoding with that system.

    The invalid "Â" char in the PGP block is suspect of that cause.

    - From my quick initial research, there is supposed to be the equivalent
    of a &nbsp; where the "Â" shows up in the block.

    Meanwhile, this time, THIS message is originating from the TB 20.0.0.4.
    I am using UTF-8 message encoding, like I have configured for these
    nntp message areas here.

    Let's see how the signed clear-text behaves.

    Thanks for confirming. That one went out with UTF-8 encoding, but my
    own copy (viewing locally) did not verify! :(

    gpg command line and output:
    C:\Program Files\gnupg\bin\gpg.exe
    gpg: Signature made 01/25/20 21:24:15 Eastern Standard Time
    gpg: using RSA key D0EB2A295204F3167EB2503CEF0E89655789589B
    gpg: BAD signature from "August Abolins <august@kolico.ca>" [ultimate]


    So, it seems that clear-text signing is only gonna work if I avoid UTF-8 charset and stick with ISO 8859-1.
