Dunno how The Bat! does it, but if I were to write a mail client which
supports GnuPG, I'd save the message and invoke GnuPG with the saved
message.  The result of this (the signed saved message) I'd put in the body
of the mail, add apropriate headers (ie. Content-Type: multipart/signed) and
mail all this.

This way no tampering would be done - neither be GnuPG nor by the MUA.

Then it should be signed after it's wrapped.

Hmm, dunno how it's in the Windows world - I'd assume that hitting the send
button causes the message to be signed and send.
