Excellent.

Also excellent.

Cool.

That's odd, I'm not sure what's going on there.  Was this just
newsgroup (NNTP) posts or news and email?

It's awfully convenient for us mono-linguistic types.  ;)

I used to use Altavista's Babel service, which was pretty good too and
was better than Google's for quite a long time, but Google has really
caught up on that front.

I can see the signature in the header, but Enigmail did not detect it
at all.  I think it will only check the body for in-line signed or
encrypted blocks and PGP/MIME.

I don't really see the value in using OpenPGP for header signatures,
that should be the purview of things like MTAs, mainly for DKIM or
Domain Keys to verify an authorised sender for a domain.
