If they excerpt the message, I can claim it was forged... sure, people can believe my word, or not... but at least, signing the message would not harm me. And if the present the whole message, including the signature, then they can't change the context... In that context my signature is "protecting me" or at least, it would be neutral... Anyway, *I* think digital signatures doesn't have to be perfect, since they intend to (somehow) replace the handwritten signatures, which can also be forged... if a digital signature is not easier to forge than a handwritten signature, I would consider it as a "authenticity proof". Of course, if there are legal or economical stuff involved, I would also need to know the security policies used to keep the private key safe, but usually I would not require something so elaborated... But that is just _my opinion, if somebody is a bank CEO, probably he would have a different point of view about this subject...
