Wow, I sure am happy, and surprised, to find out that I'm not the only one to find it useful to knowingly break e-mail signatures. By the way, my simplistic version of the patch (attached) was slightly different. I didn't try the new patch, and it's not as if anyone is trying to get it merged into the official code base, but there is a chance it will allow the user to try deleting attachments from encrypted (rather than just signed) messages, which is likely to fail.
