As Leif said, this is the difference between PGP/MIME and plain PGP.
TB is usually set to do auto-PGP/MIME. It decides for itself
whether (from the help file):

o       a message includes attachments
o       a message is created using HTML or other Rich Text format
o       a non-ASCII character set is used in the message text
o       the message text contains lines longer than 76 characters
o       the message text has lines beginning with "From " (some mail
        servers may add a symbol at the start destroying the
        cryptographic integrity of such a message)
o       the message text contains lines with trailing spaces like
        the standard <dash><dash><space> signature separator (some
        mail servers may strip trailing spaces destroying the
        cryptographic integrity of such a message)

These are all reasons for the 'auto' to choose to use PGP/MIME.

You can change the default behaviour by use of the PGP/MIME menu
options or by the use of special macros, which you can include in
templates. %NOPGPMIME or %CLEARSIGN to force plain text signing or
%PGPMIME to force PGP/MIME signing.
