Yeah, it's been mentioned to you before. Hotmail is wrapping your message in
HTML and breaking the signing.

Two possible solutions:

1) View --> Message Body As --> Plain Text

2) Switch from Hotmail to something with a normal SMTP and POP/IMAP interface
such as GMail

From my personal view, I just ignore the GnuPG information and signatures when I
see HTML formatted mail. I dunno, you may have better luck with PGP/MIME but I'm
not holding my breath.

But WHY WHY WHY on Earth are you including your PRIVATE key?!?  PLEASE, just use
a keyserver like normal folk. There is *no* need to inflate EVERY message you
send with copies of your public and private keys.
