I would rather not have the MUA doing the signing, for a couple reasons:

Consistency - If different S-Os use different MUAs, or an S-O changes
MUA over time, the SAs shouldn't be text one time, MIME the next, etc.

Key location - I do not keep the S-O PGP key on the machine that I send
mail from. I sign the advisories and copy them to the machine from which
they are mailed.
