OpenPGP parts and plain text in the same email

Hello,

probably all of you know the problem that users of that one ******* kind of 
mail client tell you that they cannot read your emails like the ones from 
other people. There was just an "attachment" which they have to open in order 
to read the text. And of course, that other one attachment with nonsense 
data...

This is more an email question than a GnuPG question: Mail clients are capable 
of sending both an HTML and a plain text version of the content within one 
email. I wonder whether it is possible to send emails in the same way with a 
plain text part and an alternative PGP/MIME part. "Solving" the outlook 
problem this way might increase the acceptance of OpenPGP.
