Probably doesn't have the Comodo validation certificate.

Maybe, but my Mac does, and it complains. As does a Thunderbird client and an 
Outlook client. That's three different setups that are complaining about your 
signature now.

Whether they're right or wrong is largely irrelevant. The fact is that S/MIME 
doesn't seem to be bullet proof.


I took the copy of my message that came back from the mailing list, ran it 
through some rather violent transformations (mail to usenet and back) and the 
S/MIME signature still is OK.

R's,

Are there the same issues with PGP or S/Mime email?

Generally no.  They're a group of MIME parts that shouldn't need to be
recoded, or even if they are, will decode to the same value.
