This message apparently contradicts itself.  There's no such
"MUST" in "I sign all", and it's perfectly okay if receivers
decide to reject unsigned "I sign all" mails.  If they decide
to accept it anyway it's most likely silently dropped later,
or bounced to innocent bystanders (1), and that would be bad.
