Do you mean the gpg signature? If so, yes. Unlike html this is a security feature not a liability.
How much of a feature is having your mail program do some extra work to report this - on the message I'm replying to:
The signature of this message cannot be verified, it may have been altered in transit.
gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) gpg: Signature made Fri 29 Sep 2006 04:13:56 AM CDT using DSA key ID BFE7357F gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
It doesn't give me any warm fuzzies...
Today 10:13:51 Message was signed by cannewilson@tiscali.co.uk (Key ID: 0x90502F32BFE7357F). The signature is valid and the key is ultimately trusted.
