Confused about signing inline vs siging with attached signature.

[Steven W. Orr]

I decided to try sending my email with a signature attached instead of using
an inline signature. Now my friend with Outlook Express is telling me that the
message body is blank and that in order for him to see the message, he now has
to open the text attachment. (He is not verifying the signature.) I'm using
gpg2/Thunderbird/Enigmail and I sent a message to an address which then
forwards back to me. Here's the structure I see when it comes back:

Should I not be using the MIME signature or is there something he should
change at his end (besides OE), or is this question something that is not gpg2
related in the first place?

TIA
