That would assume that mime.type has an understanding of what to do with
PGP messages. So there would be two issues here actually. One, does
mime.types know what to with a type applications/pgp-signature? Secondly,
while not important since it is 7-bit ASCII, is pgp in place for mime to
make use of? Like I said, the second one is not important, only because he
is not attempting to authenticate the signature, there for he would see
the regular ASCII armored version of the signature.
