I always use inline signatures for the same reason, many mailing lists and
newsgroups frown on attachments of any kind. In addition many of the
people I correspond with use M$ Outlook which not only doesn't understand
PGP-MIME but hides the body of the message when PGP-MIME attachments are
present.

So my dilemma is that I want my messages PGP signed, but PGP-MIME prevents
me from communicating with my business partners. So far, inline signatures
are the only solution. Has anyone found a decent work around to this
Outlook problem? 

(and don't tell me to get them to switch off of Outlook. like the
proverbial blond, you can lead a die-hard M$ user to water, but you can't
make them think.)
