On my machine, using keyid 1024/A7406ED1 <announce@lp.org> the signature did not match the message. Most likely there was a harmless alteration in the process of being forwarded, but possibly the message is bogus.

Yes...the "-------- Forwarded Message Follows ------" line.
Unless you already took that into account in which case its probably the ">" symbols or something to that effect.
No, the "-------- Forwarded Message Follows ------" line is before the PGP begin line, so I think it should not corrupt the signature. I can't see any '>' quotes inside the message. I suppose probably there's an extra space or newline in there. I'm not 100% sure if PGP collapses whitespace to avoid this or not... I imagine probably not. Martin Pool
