Found it, thanks.  I was looking at the headers of a "direct" message 
instead of the copy I usually get via internet-history.

The internet-history processor adds fields to the header, but also 
modifies the body of the message, e.g., inserting the "footer" with the 
list information.  Among other things, that breaks my PGP signature.

However it also appears that the "new" message with the altered From 
field and message body, still has the original Message-ID field that my 
composer assigned.  But it's no longer the message that I wrote... it's 
been modified in transit.   Isn't such behavior in violation of something?
