| 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.

Well, there is always the "option" to pay PGP fpr plug-in use.  Also,
why not download and use Thunderbird for your Default MUA?  The price is
right & the PGP/MIME option is native.
