It's a long time since I implemented the clearsigning code so I don't
remember the details very well, but one feature that I would have liked 
to put into my PGP-aware email program was to take the signature from a 
signed, encrypted message and use it to create a clearsigned message for archiving. Presumably if normal encrypted messages have binary sigs and clearsigned messages have text sigs, this will be impossible? I think
this was the situation with the PGP version (2.3a?) I was testing for 
compatibility.
