The flip side is simpler.  If one asserts that messages are always PGP

know what to do with it.

Just to be clear, I'd like to add:

Of course if a message doesn't have _any_ PGP signature, not even an 
invalid one, it can be discarded/rejected if the SPF record requires some 
- -- any! -- signature.

But invalid PGP signatures can of course be faked trivially (just use some 
constant string formally looking like a signature), so the mere presence 
of _some_ PGP signature (invalid or not) really doesn't mean anything.  
Thus, plain, key-id-less "pgp"/"smime" mechanisms/modifiers are useless.

I look forward to your introductory message.

(For the record, it won't be about PGP specifically.)
