The message is shown as signed by evolution.

I believe you experience a display bug (or rather limitation) in
Thunderbird.

The mailing list software wraps the original message into a
multipart/mixed envelope, in order to add the message list footer.

Thunderbird will only display a signature of the outermost layer, which
isn't signed.

For testing purposes, I manually edited the received messages and
removed the outer envelope, and copied the result to Thunderbird's local
folders. That one is shown by Thunderbird with a correct signature.

It showed up correctly in TB (note that I'm using the newsgroup and not
email).

Falcon's message appeared broken again (signature stripped).
Apparently my changes to the list configuration changes have been
reverted. :(

I'll have to talk to Mozilla IT.
