Speaking of which, do my sigs show up bad for anyone else? If they 
really are bad, that would be something I'd like to fix. =) (Although, 
they show up good for me here when I get them back from the list.)

Well, you could look at the main RFC 
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2440.txt> (there are also a few other RFCs 
related to it) that talks about the OpenPGP message format. I skimmed 
through it and it looks like the signed part is just the contents of 
the other MIME part, without the headers. I haven't tried decoding it 
manually, however.
