Thanks to some suggestions from the posters to this list I did some further
work. First I uploaded the sigs to the key servers. I removed bogofilter from
the laptop because I thought the added filter notice might be changing the
file size. None of this worked.

I do notice, however, a change in file size when I compare the sent and
received files.

With the sent file, the multipart signed section is 1.3 KB, the body part is a
Plain Text Document 96 Bytes, and a Detached OpenPGP Signature of 189 Bytes

The file I received back had a multipart signed section of 2.2 KB, the body
part is a Plain Text Document 96 Bytes, and a Detached OpenPGP Signature of
189 Bytes.

It's obvious that something has changed, but I have no idea what is causing
this.

Thanks, Bob.
