If the mail was gpg signed, and the mail gateway then went on to tack a great big disclaimer on it ... the gpg sig wouldn't verify in any case as the body has already been altered in transit. Those who do want to gpg sign their mail in such a case would be well advised to get themselves a shell account someplace which also provides a java ssh client like mindterm (my webhost for hserus.net == http://www.interserver.net == does this, and gives me a shell acct for webhosting + email at only $9 a month). If I'm behind a firewall, I can just fire up mindterm and still ssh into my account. interserver.net has mutt - and http://www.hserus.net/muttrc.html has the settings you need in mutt to support gpg.
