My preference is Inline: I want everything right there in the message
body where I can see it.

Some people advocate PGP/MIME, which hides signatures and encrypted
messages in attachments.

Both standards are valid, neither is deprecated.

I have seen it advised to use Inline for initial contact, and switch
to MIME only after establishing the recipient can cope with it. But I
can't find the reference at the moment, and I think it may be outdated
advice.

It is not necessary to have enemies if you go out of your way to make friends hate you.
