Personally, I consider the '<#!part sign=pgpmime>' stuff a completely
broken design.  IMHO, MML should as closely as possible match the MIME
structure of a message.  I still don't know why the initial proposal
for something like this:

   <#multipart type=signed>
   <#part>
   This is a signed multipart.
   </#part>
   <#part type="text/plain" filename="~/file2"
     disposition=attachment description="signed attachment">
   <#/part>
   <#/multipart>

was superseded by this odd construct.
