Correct.

The point I was trying to make was that if we simply filter *ALL* messages
that aren't text/plain, we're sending a message that we've given up on
multipart/signed messages as well.

Surely after almost a decade of MIME experience, we can do better than just
saying "Throw out all stuff that isn't text/plain".
