Please forgive me for asking this question.
I really do not know anything about encoded mail and therefore have no idea where the problem may lie.
But is it really necessary for a message sent to, say, this mail list which contains all of the text as shown above?
I know that the posting rules for openSUSE lists suggests that the max number of lines in a signature be limited to 4 lines but the above is simply ridiculous.
You are mixing two completely different things: signature and signature ;) The netiquette rule you mentioned applies to signature as in "I put my name at the end of letters I write." And indeed 4 lines max is a reasonable rule. My personal rule would be "as small as possible", in other words, don't include information your readers have no interest in. Speaking of this...

Most of the information in your own signature has probably very little interest to most of your readers. The signature included in Jeff's post is of the other kind, it is a cryptographic means to guarantee the authenticity of the message (i.e., the message has really been written by Jeff.) Good email clients will not show the block to you, instead they will check the signature automatically and warn you if the check failed. Maybe you need to install or enable the proper plugin for your client to do that. While cryptographic signatures indeed add up to the message length, I think they are very valuable and we do encourage people to use them.
