I don't like this. I'm not sure what this kind of signing is called, but
my mail client doesn't understand it so its completely useless to me.
Apart from that I'd have to hand-edit the mail everytime and then remove
the text parts from PGP.

If you or the others think its useful I won't stop anybody from doing
it, but I'll probably not going to hand-edit the mails :P

I do send my private messages signed most of the time, I can't recall
the reasons right now, but I'm led to believe that signing messages for
a mailinglist isn't much use anyway.
