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   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.
