In enigmail 1.7.0 when forwarding a message which was signed (as eml attachment) whithout signing the complete mail, it stated that "part of message" was signed (on the receiver side). In enigmail 1.7.2, however, it states "message signed" as if the complete message was signed, which is not the case.

To reproduce:
1. Send a mail to recipient with gpg mime signature.
2. Recipient forwards this signed mail as eml attachment, within a new mail (which contains text). No new signature is added.
3. The person who receives the forwarded mail in enigmail 1.7.2 gets the state that the whole mail was signed, opposed to part of mail signed (1.7.0).

(Note: I'm using the German translation, I don't know whether "part of message signed" is the correct English version, in German it stated "Teil der Nachricht unterschrieben").

    I can reproduce this. "part of message signed" was the string used in former versions. Thanks for reporting!

    If you click on the "Details" button, then the "Enigmail Security Info" says:

    Part of the message signed
    Good signature (...)

    So it is indicated, but only on request.
