Taking a brief look at the specs, but not enough to grok them:
I suspect that the problem is that the notice is tacked on _after_
the attachments---essentially turning the notice into an "epilog''

(a) placing it within the first text part; or
(b) attaching it as a well-formed part.
Since it's an ill-formed part, it's properly ignored.
Good analysis! rfc2046 seems to supersede 1341, but says the
same thing wrt epilog(ue) parts, including:
The boundary delimiter line following the last body part ...
indicates that no further body parts will follow. ...
Presumably clients that do show the unsub sig are not RFC compliant,
and the ones that are "failing to show it" are compliant.

...for rfc2046 messages. My understanding is that all MUAs should
show the trailer when handling unencapsulated rfc822 messages.
