Verify PGP signed email on the command line
Today I tried using GPG (2.2.21) to verify a pgp signed email
that I sent to myself from the new ThunderBird 78.0. GPG said
it did not recognize the format which seems to be multi-part mime.


The command I used: gpg.exe --verify PGPtest-0.eml


The output:
gpg: malformed CRC
gpg: no signature found
gpg: the signature could not be verified.


The email: https://gist.github.com/jake9wi/c6bdc5f72dc7fb13ef2b4c07635fb632

The MIME must be decoded first but gpg doesn't do that. It is email
client's job to extract the MIME part that was signed and the signature
itself. Those two are sent to "gpg --verify".
