Yes, Chris, we do realize that. However, ASCII attachments defeat the
purpose for those of us subscribed in digest mode, as the attachments are
all concatenated to the bottom of the e-mail and there is no indication as
to which e-mail they refer. So unless one is getting the e-mails
individually, it does affect the verification.

Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----?
I would agree to some extent. Did you PGP/GPG users out there (I am
one, I just don't sign much anymore) realize that a
properly-configured client can send the signature as an attachment and
not inline? Look at Kwan Ting Chan's message, for example. It looks
much cleaner and is just as verifiable.
