You don't anyway. Just reply and the "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED
MESSAGE-----" has disappeared. The cut mark still works after
gaining an extra dash space at the beginning, so I should think
all is hunky dory...

Unless you actually verify the PGP signature. This seems leave a
cut mark missing the trailing space and therefore non-functional.
Same happens if you decrypt a (non-MIME) PGP-encrypted message.

Can anybody reproduce this? I may log it on issue tracker in a few
days if I have the time, as I am sure this behaviour cannot be by
design.

We all seem to manage ignoring the HTML attachment many people
send along with a few lines of text, as well as the screenfuls of
disclaimers at the bottom of messages sent from corporate systems.

Benefit of PGP/MIME, I take it?

 Here, an inline-signed PGP message keeps the "-----BEGIN PGP
 SIGNED MESSAGE-----" but the cut mark works so the PGP sig is not
 quoted in the reply. ( Provided you do not verify the sig).

 If you do verify the sig, the "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED
 MESSAGE-----" goes and so does the PGP sig but due to the broken
 cut mark the ordinary (non-PGP) signature appears in the reply .
