Hi all,

Usually, RFC 3156 (PGP/MIME) signature parts (application/pgp-signature, see RFC 3156, sect. 9.2.) should 
never be encoded as they are 7-bit clean.  However, there are implementations which apply an (superfluous) 
encoding to such parts, which Balsa fails to interpret properly.  The attached patch fixes this behaviour, 
and as a side effect plugs a gmime stream leak when checking a S/MIME signature which is always encoded.

Opinions?

Cheers,
Albrecht.
