According to RFC 3156 the proper Content-Type for signed data is
multipart/signed with a normal text/plain part and an application/
pgp-signature part, so this should be detected already by tin.
application/pgp is also not listed at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/>, so I am
curious why you thought it might be important.

"Clearsigned" messages should probably just have text/plain as their
Content-Type because they are just this. What user agents generate
application/pgp instead?
