The people who use the arguement that inline-PGP is deprecated or that
a MUA that supports inlined and not PGP/MIME is broken are spouting
nonsense. It's a matter of the lowest common denominator, which is
inlined-PGP. More clients support inlined-PGP than PGP/MIME.

Once the balance shifts to PGP/MIME, then they can say what they want,
but with Microsoft's MAUs being used on more desktops, either the
community causes them to get updated or the community gets them replaced.

Now don't get me wrong. I think PGP/MIME is the bomb, but for those
with MAU's that aren't PGP/MIME compatible verifying the sig is a
royal pain (as compared to verifying inlined).
