Reasons why attempts to automatically strip signatures a bad idea: * Breaks the assumpton that remailers are not reaching in and twiddling internals of a message. * Maybe a signature is _desired_ at some point. * Can lead to various problems, especially if implemented badly. We've had this debate before, and the consensus was that treating a remailed block as inviolate is a "win." Certainly anyone can announce this "feature" as a service, sort of a "Dummie's Remailer." Like censor services (that screen your mail), such things are easily imaginable, but should never become the norm, and should never be mandated. --Tim May -- ..........................................................................
