I could sign messages at least three ways just using Apple's Mail.app:
GPG with a suitable plug-in (what I do) in
SMIME form
BEGIN SIGNED MESSAGE form
Whatever is native to Mail.app (involves getting a [free] personal
certificate from Thawte, and putting it into the keychain. Signing is
automatic at that point). I don't know what format that produces--I've been
meaning to find out.
(No, you won't find me on the public key servers--we use this inhouse only.)
I think all traces of the signature need to be stripped after it is used for
verification (but I could be wrong).
All that (and the other problems cited in this thread) aside, I advocated
this idea about 5 years ago, and still favor it.
