Well, yes, but he's never been able to implement it, despite decades of trying. (I've known Ted since 1972, so I watched a lot of it happen.) Xanadu was always envisioned as a monolithic system that didn't scale over large numbers of machines or wide geographic areas. It's really interesting as a conceptual design, but the closest working implentation is the WWW and that, to put it mildly, left out a lot. On the other hand, MIME can do multipart messages consisting of a sequence of signed bodies right now, and most MUAs display them pretty well. I've never seen anything create one other than a list manager like Mailman or mj2 adding a signature part after a signed body.
