This would make sense, except for the gnupg-users mailing list. I've
been on the list for a while, and refuse to believe that everyone signs
inline, and no one uses PGP/MIME. Also, after leaving the mailbox, and
coming back to it, any signed flags that did show after reading a signed
message are no longer present.
