Behaviour by design. The option is called "Sign Clean Messages" and won't
sign messages which have been modified by MailScanner. You don't want to
send out a "This message is known to be clean" on the bottom of a message
which contained a virus.

You should be able to put all the encoding strings into the subject. You
can't put them in the subject unless you correctly encode them.

No, I don't modify the zip file. That is seriously hard work and not worth
the effort.
