For the record I'm actually happy that Kai is experimenting with various 
ideas on how to improve the situation. Yeah, you will always get 
complaints (hey, you got one just proposing your solution!) but is that 
a reason to stop? I don't think so.

Putting the signature in the header, alongside the Autocrypt header for 
the key would mean e-mails would be simple and clean in all clients, at 
the same time advertising the support of OpenPGP on the sender side.

Kind regards,
Wiktor
