there seems to be consensus for mass requiring no MUA changes. i've never
been aware of an mua related 'design goal' for pgp or s/mime.
I should have elaborated on this a bit more, since it touches an issue that has
been confusing for folks and, therefore, we should make a point of agreeing on
it:
The authentication process is intended to produce input to the
receive-side filtering process. This may take place at any authorized agent
working on behalf of the recipient. However it need not include the MUA.
