I have to disagree. It is still far better to conform to the standards.
Lets also remember that Outlook Express deletes *all* messages with
*any* attachment, so the problem is not limited to pgp signatures.

How would you have us send attachments if we cannot use MIME? I hope you
wouldn't suggest that we abandon the MIME standards here.
