There is one reason: If you store texts in the clear you still can
keep the signature intact.  If you encrypt and sign then this won't be
possible.  To implement that you should - for practical reasons - not
use the combined method of gpg but the standard PGP/MIME method of
encrypting an PGP/MIME signed message.
