While this syntax tells you more about what the real message will look
like, it is really ugly - not something you'd want to see often, and
hard to generate by hand if things got munged while editing.

This would be really nice - clean, easy to type in manually.  However,
how would this integrate with other mml stuff?  If that could all be
normal (i.e. the same as without signing), with the backend figuring
out the right MIME structure, that would be excellent.

James, thanks for bringing this up.  I like to PGP sign all of my
messages, and until I upgraded to the recent pgnus (>0.70) versions, I
did this using TM's MIME PGP stuff.  The new mml stuff breaks TM, so
I've switched to plain PGP signatures.  I'd like to switch back, but I
haven't spent enough time with the gnus code to figure out how to
implement it with mml.  But, if someone else starts, I'll be happy to
help!
