This is not an selinux issue - the summary is as follows:
Thunderbird sends signed mail to Thunderbird - all is fine
Thunderbird sends signed mail to Evolution - all is fine
Evolution sends signed mail to Evolution - all is fine
Evolution sends signed mail to Thunderbird and Thunderbird complains
about "signature verification failed" - so this is either a bug in Evo
or in TB (I am using TB 3.1b2 but it is more than likely this will be
the same in earlier versions -

If anyone else uses signed mail and can confirm this behaviour it
would be useful - I would report this against bugzilla but I need to
know which component is the underlying problem.


Check to make sure you are sending plain text. When sending plain text
Thunderbird and Evolution should have no problem, but if you send html
(eg. multipart/alternative) you are not going to get a good signature
verification. I would be glad to run a couple of tests with you. Also,
does it make a difference if you are sending inline or PGP/MIME.
