You can set GPGrelay to sign/encrypt the attachments inlined, but it is 
only recommended if the receiver cannot handle PGP-MIME.

PGP-MIME is far better but unfortunately PGP-MIME signed mail is not 
transparent to non-pgp users. They will be confused by the empty mail with 
the two strange attachments (though readable in a texteditor). Thus I 
cannot use PGP-MIME widely.

(S/MIME has an advantage as such signatures doesn't confuse users: the mail 
appears as usual in e.g. Outlook Express, only a fancy attachment is added.)
