Yep.

For Outlook Express (at least), which doesn't display attached signatures in
the correct way ... yes, this is normal behavior.

Yep; if they don't see the message as a message, and instead see it as an
attachment ... tell them to open attachment #1. It's their mail client that
is not showing the message in the way they should.

The people you're sending to are incapable of opening an attachment? And
therefore that means you have to give up potential email security?
(I agree, it's a pain - when I read this mail from Outlook Express, I have
to open attachment #1 for all signed emails. Me, I put up with it)
