and how, and using what criteria, would the signing server evaluate 
the trustworthiness of the attachment?

e.g. I might consider an attachment that installed NetBSD on top
of an existing Windows system to be absolutely trustworthy 
(so long as it did it's job well) and performing a valuable community 
service, but others might not agree...  
(they might insist that Linux be installed instead.)
