Hey, Carl.  I think your suggestion to include the signatures in the
output is a reasonable.  However, (I could be misunderstanding your
suggestion but) I really think the Right thing is for notmuch to do the
verification itself.  I would almost say that --verify should be the
default, with a --no-verify option.  It will make things much easier for
all the UIs if notmuch handles the verification and just outputs the
result.

jamie.
