Can we produce a list of the MIME-types that MailScanner should not sign.
At the moment it will sign any in-line text/* section. I can easily put in
a little list of exceptions to catch things like text/pdf. What are the
MIME types used by Outlook for these messages?

It would be good to get this fixed before the next release, so the next
release will have to wait until we get this resolved.
