Naw. Just desserts.

A "me-too". I've encountered the same issue. My technical fix has been
to respond:
It's a GPG signed message in MIME format. Why does it do that and
how can I fix it -- I don't know and I don't care. Here's a dime,
get a real mail client.
It's been observered that PGP *doesn't* create mime attachments while
GPG does. Despite my ignorant and apathetic inclinations to this
problem, if there is an easy fix to allow GPG signatures without
mime-attaching the content, I'd appreciate data.
Thanks.
