It would be quite helpful if GPG and PGP would restrict the addition of text 
to the cryptographic signature at the bottom of the message, as opposed to 
also adding a hash banner at the beginning. After using the software for over 
two years, I can't count the number of times I've received questions 
regarding the purpose of the extra inline message text.
