For clearsigned messages (that's the stuff mml1991.el is for), or for
OpenPGP/MIME-signed messages? It should be necessary only in the
latter case.

IMHO, your change is wrong from an architectural point of
view. mml1991.el signatures should be applied *after* we have
generate the octet stream which is to be sent, but *before*
Content-Transfer-Encoding is applied.
But I'll check with OpenPGP WG to be sure that this is the right
approach to clearsigned messages and MIME.
