Still, it would be nice to be able to see whether a message is signed or not,
even if gnus-treat-strip-pgp equals t. Maybe a message in the message line,
or some symbol in the modeline? I have gnus-treat-strip-pgp set to nil just to
tell signed and unsigned messages apart, but I really don't want to see all the 
PGP headers and stuff .
