I agree with Jon's opinion. PGP/MIME interoperability is bad.

Really? It certainly won't get worse than MIME interoperability in general.

I believe it is the design of RFC 1847 that makes interoperability low. I'm even considering arguing for the solution chosen by Outlook PGP plugins when it comes to PGP and MIME, just PGP encrypt each MIME part without touching the MIME headers at all.

Funny enough, S/MIME uses RFC 1847 as well, and that one works.
