One interesting thing I have noticed with OE is that it correctly
displays the message if there is an additional attachment as well as the
signature.
Good thing too, since mutt wont let you use an inline signature
automatically if there is an attachment.
I just end up setting inline sigs as default then enter exceptions for
mailing lists and people I know who can deal with the pgp/mime stuff.
