That fix was necessary because this:

  mhshow-show-multipart/signed: sigcheck %a '%F'

used to have this effect:

  mhshow-show-multipart/signed: sigcheck %a ''%F''

which was clearly broken (and noted, but not quite as
clearly, in the comments).

So, is the choice here (for anyone) to modify that code yet
again, or (for you) to modify your script?
