-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
True - but could I add that if everyone put their message ABOVE the
quoted text, rather than below, then this issue would be moot anyway
(since we wouldn't need to go through the endless footers in order to
get to the message)

Because any modification of the message post-sending would royally screw
any digital signing of the message (which me, Alphax, and a couple of
other people use on this list) which relies on a hash computed at the
time of sending by the user's encryption program
Heh, in this case, there is no problem - anyone likely to use PGP to
sign their messages is extremely unlikely to forget to trim their
message footers. And the worst case scenario is that you do forget to
trim a message footer, it gets done for you, and someone's mail reader
says "this PGP message does not compute" and checks with you.
So, a small number of messages from a small number of users would
cause a small problem.
