Yep, I'm aware of why it happens. My point was more that there is at least the potential for some work to be done on the IETF end, not just on the IETF participant end, which suggests that some kind of decision from leadership could be useful.

Sure, unless the suffix is added in a separate, unsigned MIME section, which is behaviour I have seen on some lists (my mail client shows me a signed section in the mail, and gives me a warning that not all of the message is signed).
