Actually, I was too fast.  I had a problem with my keyring, which
resulted in verification errors, which in turn resulted in empty
buffers.  I’m not sure how to test this.

Attached you find an e-mail where I just changed some bytes in the
text, keeping the old signature.  Verification fails, but the
messages is displayed without any indication of the verification
failure.

Best wishes
