With that information recorded in the log (or in-code comment, or
both), if it turns out that some lines with the prefix are useful
(or some other lines without the prefix are not very useful), they
can tweak the filtering criteria as appropriate, with confidence
that they _know_ for what purpose the initial "filter lines with the
prefix" was trying to serve, and their update is still in the same
spirit as the original, only executed better.
Come to think of it, and considering that mutt happily signs emails in
the same conditions, maybe it would make sense to just ignore gpg return
code as long as there is a SIG_CREATED message...
I do not think we want to go there. If GPG reports failure, there
is something funny going on.
