Most of the time I send inline PGP mails. But why not sending PGP/MIME
mails? The MIME headers of the text part flag this part as the part that
should be displayed. If some client displays this part as an attachment,
this client is not MIME compliant.
With HTML(-only) mails it is something different. It is not necessary to
support HTML to be MIME compliant and enabling HTML display in your mail
reader also has some drawbacks if you want to fight spam.

... just my 2 eurocent. :)
