Which is how PMMail2k Pro does it. A small indication on the status line
is all you ever see unless you request to see the whole message.

Well, given I trust PGP about 1000x more than I do S/MIME, I'd have to say
no. Esp. given the message I looked at was 6k in length. A good 3-4k in
signature, 1k in headers, 1-2k body. I fail to see a reason why a signature
is larger than a message, ever.

Only if you trust it, which I don't. TB! is the first and only place I've
ever heard of S/MIME, I can't view it raw in TB!. I have no reason to trust
that.
