Re: Shortcomings of current schemes (Was: One-pass signatures)

Ideally there would be only one way of calculating a signature so a sign &
encrypt message could have it's signature retained and converted to a
clear-sig. IMHO going with a flag is just giving the software designers an
easy out from doing the PGP processing properly.


Right. RFC 2015 explicitly stated that encrypted+signed messages must be able 
to be rewritten as plaintext+signature by mailers.
