It looks like the list software is changing the Content-Type: header. A
message I received which verified corectly automatically had this:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-action=pgp-signed

Mutt adds this automatically, but messages from the list have this:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

So that's what's happening. There are procmail rules you can use to add
the x-action: part to the header based on whether the message has  the

line, but I am not using one, you can probably google for it and find it
easily though.
