That is weird. Maybe the presence of the other attachments caused OE
to behave better.

Some of those people didn't PGP sign their messages. Check which
messages were PGP signed too. FYI I'm using mutt with the option
'set pgp_verify_sig=no' so that I don't get an annoying "couldn't
verify sig" mesasge at the top of signed mails. I see delimiters that
say "Attachment 1" (followed by the message) then "Attachment 2"
(followed by the signature) but I see the body of the message "inline"
as the mail headers specified.
