No. you were talking about a completely different issue. MIME and
PGP/MIME have only in common that PGP/MIME makes use of MIME
encapsulation for attaching the signature. That's _all_. The Bat!
don't know about the MIME type PGP/MIME uses for this purpose and
therefore can't handle the MIME encapsulated attachment internally.
But that doesn't make it "incompliant", it offers you to save the
attachment (of unknown type) and handle it yourself. What else should
it do? To The Bat! this attached signature is the very same a a
Photoshop file: something attached, nothing more, nothing less.
