Yes. It's supposed to be handled the same as multipart/mixed.
Hence an non-security aware implementation should still have useful access
to the cleartext portion. Folks should note that this same access is NOT
possible with non-s/mime aware implementations.
What do current MIME implementations do in this situation ?
a good question, indeed.
My (currently) MOSS-unaware mailer displays the clear text and also an
icon for an an object of unknown type "application/moss-signature".
In other words, your support for unknown types of multipart is exactly what the
MIME RFC requires.
