It has already been pointed out that this is likely to break some MIME
messages. But so far, nobody has mentioned that it will be a -HUGE-
problem for anyone who wishes to digitally sign their messages...
It seems to me that there are only two ways to add post-MUA content to
a message. The easiest and most acceptable is to put it in an X-mumble
header. The other method would be to encapsulate the original message
as a text/rfc822 MIME attachment to an entirely new message containing
the required text. (A solution not likely to be appreciated by anyone.)

P.S. If an X-Disclaimer header is used, you still have to decide
what to do if the message already has one. Deleting the
existing one is probably not a good idea. But whether to
just leave it alone or to add the new one is another matter.
