AOX was incompatible with digital signatures from the beginning, which was a result of MIME structure normalization, Arnt had implemented. Keeping PGP sigs intact, became more and more important to us, so we implemented a patch last summer to correctly resolve sigs of single MIME parts or complete messages. People, testing this version from github, found out, that list servers broke the sig while putting the received message in another multipart level. Arnt asked us to fix that and we came back with another patch, which gives AOX the ability to keep sigs intact regardless of complexity of MIME structure. The implementation keeps the whole original message in raw form, if it contains a multipart/signed part. This was the solution, we ended up, after trying several variants, which missed the project goal. Arnt did not honor the pull request until now, which may have to do with architectural concerns.
