That might not be enough for many users. Compare a little "s" with 4 or 5
lines of text saying that the email is signed. It's like a big OK stamp.

It's rather disturbing that there is no way of telling what is in the body of
the message and what was generated by, say, gpg. Only a little "s" (and
perhaps the status line saying that the signature checked out ok or not,
but for some reason mine always says it didn't worked).
