This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156)

Hello Adrian,
I don't think that is a "not too bad" setup. It is very good. ;)
You can even reply with my name on it :)
I see what you meant, I'm using Mozilla with Enigmail and the Gnupg
Maillisting footer wasn't showup on my screen. So I suppose that adding
footer is always possible but showing it will be not possible in the
mean time.
You are right, the main point to use GPG/PGP is to aviod People to
changing or getting know of our mail.
Does anyone think that there will be a way to improve the way this kind
of stuff doing? (well, may be I'm just dreaming)
Thank You
Chan Min Wai

- non-MIME ('inline') signatures are obviously no problem at all
- just adding a footer to a PGP/MIME (like mine) signed mail will not touch
the signature either, but the MUA won't display the footer as it is not in a
MIME part (you probably also know this - this mailing list has such a footer)
- the 'proper' way, I guess, would be to encapsulate the signed mail within a
multipart/mixed mail, with first a message/rfc822 part containing the signed
email, and then a text/plain part with the footer. However, I'd object
violently if any mailing list would handle my mail in this way, and also I'm
absolutely not sure how various MUA would display this - I guess you'd only
have problems...
In short: if you don't want to depend on people using inline signatures, you
basically have a problem with no elegant solution. After all, preventing
undetected modification is one of the reasons why people sign email...
