Actually, more precisely, it isn't PGP signing it is MIME encapsulation of
a multi-part message. It just so happens that on this list the most often
seen multi-part message is PGP signatures. However one could PGP sign their
message in-line (AKA, the old way) and I believe the appended text would show
up. By the same token one could post to this list a multi-part HTML message
with no PGP signature and the appended text would not show up.
