One of the informational RFCs the original working group produced discussed
this. A reason (maybe the reason) the envelope was not included in the
signed content was so that the signature could survive without an envelope,
meaning it could be retrieved from a mailbox and re-verified.

I don't know, though, if anyone does this regularly, but it's been shown to
be useful in some circumstances.
