What are you talking about? The signature is generated on the sending side using the private key stored on the sending server, and the signature is then inserted into the header of the email prior to it being sent.
If you want to insert forged signed emails into an email dump you can absolutely do so given you have the private key to create signatures with. Under those circumstances an email never had to be sent in the first place it would just need to be crafted and inserted into the dumped materials.
But I digress, as I said above I find it really unlikely given the reactions we have seen over the dumps.

You're right, I didn't think it through completely.
