It's worth noting, incidentally, the #Efail attack flat-out requires
MIME. So inline PGP messages are not vulnerable, as there's no MIME
parsing pass which can be exploited. So you're *still* safe, although
this is still a bug that should be fixed. ;)
I can recreate the bug; I'll be bringing it up to Patrick soon.
