Subject: [Simple] e2e security

Something I realized when reviewing relays is that we may wish to comment
somewhere (probably once in MSRP, and again in Relays w.r.t. changing
chunking) that S/MIME will only work on the entire message.

While one MIGHT be tempted to secure a chunk, that will break when it gets
chopped up by relays.  However, by having the endpoint reassemble the full
message, S/MIME will work if you consider it over the entire message.

In the relay draft, it may be worth noting in section 3 (page 7) that header
encryption is clearly hop-by-hop only.
