I understand that you want to make it obvious that you signed the
message, and it does indeed show a signature. However, [using enigmail]
 in the topline of the visible header, it states "Unverified signature;
click Pen icon". How do I know its you. If you use an armored file,
export pub file option, that could be imported to my keyring, likewise
from a keyserver. Once its on my ring, I can set it to a marginal trust
value and subsequent representations of that key would show as a bad sig
if it were different. Who has time to inspect each and every sig. If the
opportunity to exchange keyslips offers itself, then trust could be set
to ultimate.
