I've just sent you an email that is digitally signed. The sig should
show as an attachment to the email. You can also test this out by
sending yourself a digitally signed email.

I'm using T'bird 2 alpha and note that you can only see the attachment
when the email is open (rather than in preview). Also the email does not
show as having an attachment (no paper clip in the attachment column).
Is this a bug?

I've noticed that if a news message is signed there will be a pen
writing a squiggle in the expanded headers bar. When it is clicked it
shows the signature details. The same may be true for email.

That is absolutely right, you can only see the little pen if the header
bar is expanded. Shame that there is no other way of knowing the message
is "signed" - treating it as an attachment would help.

I use Mozilla Suite, and when I get a signed message, I get an
indication on the bottom left of the status bar. It took me a long
time to figure out what that was, then I clicked on it and it gave me
the details about the signed message.

That depends on what the recipient is using to read messages, and how
the message is signed.
