Unfortunately I believe the answer is don't use Outlook. Outlook and
Outlook express do not recognize PGP/MIME formatted attachments. Neither
program allows you to add mime-types to the system, so you are stuck with
in-line signatures or nothing.

This has been an ongoing problem for me as well, so please feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong.
