Almost. Actually, I believe that text mode signatures + avoiding trailing whitespace is the way to go: This way, (1) illusions are avoided, and (2) the implementation is robust against transports which corrupt trailing white space - after all, such transports are one of the things MIME ist trying to guard against. -- Thomas Roessler <roessler@does-not-exist.org>
