This inconsistent behavior is what I too have seen.
I have also "lost" attachments --- previous attachments that now
indicate "0" bytes. If I reboot or sometimes rebuild my mailbox,
they come back -- sometimes they don't. (If I look at the raw mail
message, the attachment is still there and I can recover it using
Stuffit Expander.)
Since SMIME signatures and attachments are both using MIME, I suspect
the problems are related.

Thanks, Tim.
But the email address in the message from Rich Trouton that the
list received on November 29 matches the case of the rfc822Name in
his certificate. Interesting. I just checked that message again and
now Mail recognizes the digital signature. I think that may be
because I turned off my iMac this morning before I left for work.
Maybe the shutdown and restart got everything in sync. I'm still
not convinced, so I'll monitor the situation.

I do not have problems with digital signatures in Thunderbird.
Note that Mail.app requires that the *local-part* (left side of
the '@') be a *case sensitive* match. This is a strict
interpretation of the RFC that no other mail user agent enforces.
