   Perhaps we should get down to it and add a new header line to the RFC in the
   next revision.

   "Trailer" would be a header that was a trailing comment.   The newsreader
   would be expected to display the trailer, if the user desires, at the
   end of a read article.

Not necessary; the draft internet standard for multipart, multimedia
internet mail already takes care of this.

You put in a header field "Content-type:" which defines a part separator
(see the headers of this message), and divide up the pieces with that.
In this case I used "emv", but it could be anything.

If you really wanted to you could make a special Content-type: which was
a signature, but really that's not needed.  Or you could define a
signature type as a "richtext" tag.

The specs can be had from the files described in the 2d part of this
three-part message.
