I would add another item to this useful list, despite the fact that
it won't make it into the next release:

 - the ability to forward a signed message, and have the new recipient
   verify the signature in the original message; if the forwarder added
   their signature to it, then communicator would display the message
   hierarchy with their respective signature verifications.
