The aforementioned signed message from PKZ's lawyer message failed
signature check on my system, apparently because it contained a very
long text line which, somewhere along the way, was chopped into two
lines before it arrived in my mailbox.  


The two lines as they appeared in my message (which failed signature
test) are:

 ...
 ...
present.  It will not be a trial or hearing, but a discussion with the 
Assistant United States Attorney who is handling Phil's case.  As such,
it is not an appropriate setting for any public demonstrations of support
 ...
 ...

That version fails signature check.  In the pure message (which of
course passes signature test) the first and second line are combined, 
into one, as follows:
 ...
 ...
present.  It will not be a trial or hearing, but a discussion with the Assistant United States Attorney who is handling Phil's case.  As such,
it is not an appropriate setting for any public demonstrations of support
 ...
 ...


(we'll see if they stay combined for everyone who receives this
message).

Looks like this apparent mangling could be a bit of a nuisance.
