The attachment is Peter's PGP signature MIME attachment, Paul. Outlook/OE 
don't recognise the attachment (although there is a GnuPG client for Win32 I 
did download it once but I didn't get around to installing it). At least you 
can still read the message in OE, I had problems with even opening the 
message!

My version of KMail still uses 'inline' signatures that work as plain text 
within the body of the message, no attachments involved. Newer versions can 
do both, Ximian Evolution only does MIME (I think) and Mozilla/enigmail use 
the attachment too.

The inline method is the older method but it does have the advantage of not 
causing grief for those who don't use compliant email readers.
