gpg: BAD signature


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Can anyone point out to me why my key's signature is bad? It was pointe
out to me that my signature since the end of May has been showing up as
BAD. I have also noticed that OpenPGP in Thunderbird has started
complaining that my signature is unverified. So would someone know what
I need to do to correct this? The only thing that I've found mentions
something about word-wrap settings, which I have not been able to find
such things in anything to do with Enigmail.

This seems to have started after my fresh install of Fedora 17. I had
switched from LXDE on F16 to Gnome on F17, so I blew off my home
directory (after backing it up). When I re-setup up Thunderbird
installing Enigmail I had already restored my .gpg directory and checked
my key file both from CLI and Seahorse and I didn't see any errors
there. So what am I missing?

Never mind, found it. Had major brain fart missed it in Enigmail setup.
