The keyserver can forward the original signed email to you,
which includes an *exact* copy of the signed message body.

This means if the user accidently sent in contact information in an e-mail footer this information is also disclosed. If not already there you should put a strong hint on the web page that the signed S/MIME messages should not contain any private data except e-mail address.
