Email clients that have at least some understanding about what PGP/GnuPG is, handle it accordingly and don't display it as an attachment.
What bother me more is people who top-reply to bottom-replies, making the flow of the conversation hardly understandable sometimes. ;) Just think about it - i've bottom replied to your text, you'll top-reply again, then someone else will put their reply to an absolute bottom or so. It would be hard to figure out what's the reply for what in a letter like that.
