Then you seem to misunderstand what crypto signatures actually do.
If signature check fails, then the message is not what its author
actually wrote. IRL it's mainly SorceForge and the like injecting its
ads into signed parts, (and the real reason google is pushing https and
dkim so hard is it's messing with their ad revenue,) but in principle if
the check fails the message *content* is *invalid*. Whoever the author
and whatever the content.
