`p' doesn't say whether the signature was good or not.  So,
presumably, you could fake-sign your mail to get the `p' and then use
the article highlighting to make it look like a properly signed
message.

OTOH, I wonder how many people, that doesn't understand all these
issues anyway, uses PGP or SMIME.  The problem with security is that
99% of solutions require one month of training to be useful, and a
year of training to be secure.  It would be nice if Gnus was among the
1% but perhaps noone expects that.  (Especially since Gnus already
require a few years of training... :-))
