So when I sign a clean message, I need to add

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=<whatever_MS_conf_says>

to the headers in the message if they aren't already both there?
What other situations do I need to do this in?

I've not actually experienced this problem myself, so I am going completely
on what you tell me. Please be sure to explain it to me precisely, don't
assume anything.
Exactly what situations require this change?
