   So, when it says "BAD signature", it's talking about the signature of   
   the message?   
      
   Hmmm.  A single char difference (maybe the odd =20 char) gets   
   introduced) and messes up the "signature" of the message.   
      
   I see that happening when I need to copy/paste the contents of a PGP   
   block and paste it into my BlackBerry's pgp decryptor window. It always   
   seem to return an error and never decrypts.
