If you mean 'with Enigmail disabled' does it look like (this is mine) a
signed message beginning with:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


and ending with:


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Comment: --batch

iEYEARECAAYFAkpd7MYACgkQzrAMrEP3F1pRAACgguV3fOwt7fFBxKVtLDkewJnA
4rEAmgOjScJ/XmBn666YX5ZnVO/EGSG9
=CtU2
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

No. It does not.

It looks like an ordinary email with this as an attachment:

signature.asc  and  Part 1.2

These attachments are also visible with Enigmail enabled.
