Hi Patrick--

Thanks for documenting this.

One thing not covered by this discussion is how enigmail will deal with
signatures that do not cover the entire message (for example, if mailman
wraps the message body in a multipart/mixed and appends a footer).

Assuming that the signature over the subpart meets all of the other
requirements you've already enumerated, I recommend one of two choices
in that case:

 A) not showing the signature at all (so that users don't have to guess
    at which part of the message was actually signed)

 B) indicating the valid signature, but treating the signed part as the
    entire message body (that is, suppressing the unsigned part so that
    it is not shown to the user).

If option (B) is taken, then optionally a button could be added
"[display message as received]" that would convert the display to option
(A).

Regards,

        --dkg
