I have a preference for signing the whole message. The cover note can

Hi all,
We are in the process of implementing S/MIME and me and my colleagues are
having a debate whether we will allow the software to sign and/or encrypt
attachments separately vs. signing/encrypting the whole mail message. Do
the S/MIME experts have any input on this matter ? What do you see as the
biggest advantages to each approach ?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
