I want to believe that, but it's not the case, at least not for me. On
say the debian-devel mailing list, I can see the signature flag on the
message before I fetch it (I only cache the headers).

... now that I think about it, is the gnupg-users mailing list modifying
mail headers and stripping/modifying PGP info? As you mentioned,
changing from multipart/signed to multipart/mixed, which would prevent
the signature flags from showing until after you view the message in the
pager?
