Actually, you don't need the *original* message for that, you need the
*canonical* form that signatures are computed across. I'd have to check
exactly what S/MIME wants, but for GPG, if you saved the "original" that has
Q-P encoding, you have to un-Q-P it each time you want to verify the signature.
What I took away from our last conversation on this topic was that GPG
has a different canonical form than S/MIME. I personally view that as
another reason to store the original, but that's just me.
