IIRC, ezmlm does this. The reason you only see the signature is that
an RFC (about multipart or MIME, I can't remember exactly) suggests
that the last text/plain part be shown if all of the parts are of the
same type. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

ezmlm does that because it strips text/html part (in DIR/mimeremove)
instead of rejecting multipart/alternative (or multipart/* for that
matter) in DIR/mimereject altogether.
