I've installed both suggestions in the trunk.  Feel free to adjust.
Should it go to v5-10 as well?

	* mm-decode.el (mm-verify-option): Add gnus-buttonized-mime-types
	to doc string.

	* gnus-art.el (gnus-buttonized-mime-types): Add "multipart/signed"
	depending on mm-verify-option.

`gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types' is  ignored if
`gnus-buttonized-mime-types' in non-nil:

,----[ <f1> v gnus-buttonized-mime-types RET ]
| gnus-buttonized-mime-types is a variable defined in `gnus-art.el'.
| Its value is 
| ("multipart/alternative" ".*/signed")
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| List of MIME types that should be given buttons when rendered inline.
| If set, this variable overrides `gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types'.
| To see e.g. security buttons you could set this to
| `("multipart/signed")'.  You could also add "multipart/alternative" to
| this list to display radio buttons that allow you to choose one of two
| media types those mails include.  See also `mm-discouraged-alternatives'.
| This variable is only used when `gnus-inhibit-mime-unbuttonizing' is nil.

BTW, we already have lock-broken.xpm lock-ok.xpm and lock.xpm in
etc/images.  For people using the tool bar, these icons could be used
to indicate the verification status.  Maybe on more icon for
"Untrusted" should be added.

It would also be nice to display the verification results in different
colors (or add a colored symbol to the mode line or change the
background color of the subject), for example:

  Undecided: orange
  Failed: red
  Good signature, Untrusted: blue (?)
  Trusted: green

Bye, Reiner.
