Quite a bit, actually.

Each signature is unique because it includes a digest of the signed
message. If you were to use PGP to check the signature against the
author's public key, you would be able to verify:
1) The sender's identity
2) That the content of the signed message is at it was at the moment
it was signed by the sender.
