Thanks for the link.

I'd only add that in-line is fine for encrypting messages since all
the data in-line signing may whinge about (e.g. some UTF-8 characters)
would be safely tucked away inside the encrypted block.  Personally I
only use in-line signing in a few places (or with a few correspondents)
where I've got no choice.
