PGP/MIME just makes it easier for those that don't bother with the
signatures to ignore the attachment with the signature and not have to
deal with cutting it out in replies. The other issue I've seen with
inline vs PGP/MIME is that if the signature is not stripped out by
someone replying and including the signature in the quote it will
sometimes confuse the MUA. In most cases PGP/MIME won't have this issue
as the signature is a separate attachment and unless efforts are made to
include attachments in replies won't be included and even if it does it
still doesn't confuse the MUA.



So if I was verifying my signature in that my latest message manually, I
would need two files, which would be message and signature.asc and the
verifying command would be "gpg --verify message signature.asc" (or were
they swapped)?

If we think that I am verifying the signature in my latest message,
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/04/msg00748.html , how would I
get the message part of it? Or is just copy-pasting and saving it
enough? (Or is it impossible? :)).
