Slightly better than the "best" case you presented: The attachment is
preserved and shown as an attached file of type
"application/pgp-signature".
OT: Is it part of the PGP/MIME statndard that the signature should not
have a suggested attachment filename? I'd think it would make more
sense to give a filename, to avoid having the MUA choose its own
arbitrary name for the attachment.
