I have noticed many non-valid inlined signatures but I have never ran into
any problems with inlined encrypted (and signed) mail. Why? What's the
difference? Does the encryption somehow protect the original mail (so the
signature always will verify)? Can this knowledge be used to somehow
improve the inlined signatures?
