Wen replying to a message that was signed by the sender, the quoted message no longer includes the sianture of the sender.

Sometimes it is important to certify that the receiver's signed reply was specfic to the message as signed by the sender.

A suggested solution is a setting to include the original siganture infomation in replies.

    According to my experience, this is a very rare situation. If you want
    the signature back, just click on menu OpenPGP > Undo Encryption.

    In any case, this applies to inline-PGP messages only. If you want
    something like this for PGP/MIME then you'll need to use the Thunderbird
    function "Forward Message as Attachment", otherwise the signature will
    be broken.

    In Thunderbird 17.0.2 running Enigmail version 1.4.6 (20121119-2209) on Ubuntu I tried "Undo Encryption" in the reply composition menu but nothing happened [that I could notice] to the received quoted message.
