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.
