Sending email through GMail, using the same PGP things I use for
Evolution BUT USING Icedove/Enigmail works as expected.
Viewing the send mail items does not have a problem either: I guess that
your hint ( to go around the Exchange server in IMAP modus) does the
trick.

I can confirm that your key is uploaded correctly and that the signature
verification fails.

Well, if the sig fails, there can be two cases:
1) The signature never was correct. This is then a bug in Evolution
2) The message was changed on the way
Have a thorough look at what is in your box with send items (or even in
your outbox before sending it to the server). That might give a clue
where of where it went wrong. And be aware that even the slightest
change in the signed text (wrapping it, changing the line-feed, encoding
a character, adding a space) makes gpg fail.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I suspect the Exchange box, as the signature is OK in the send mail
items.

Exchange I guess...

I suppose exchange (a mta) doesn't use s/mime, and if it does, it should
still not mangle a gpg signed message. Outlook (a mua) uses s/mime. (But
there is a GPG plugin available for it.)
The OP is using Evolution as mua and exchange as mta. You should expect
from a mta that it doesn't mangle the body of the message, but
apparantly it does.
