In plain terms.. Your mailer is screwed up and is violating the standards.
You are using PGP MIME which is fine, the script supports that. However,
you are using a MD5 hash, but your mailer has indicated in the header it
is using a SHA-1 hash. This bad data confuses the system and causes it to
fail.
When mutt parses these messages it ignores the header and invokes gpg in a
different way (that is not suited to a mail gateway IMHO) which avoids the
bug.
The header that is wrong is this header:
Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;
protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="vtzGhvizbBRQ85DL"
So please, if you are using mutt, configure it correctly.
However, since this appears to be widespread for some stupid reason I have
enabled a work around in the code.
