It also makes it obvious to everyone that Peter is using PGP.  Which
serves
a pedagogical function, I guess. :)

It also means I can readily view his e-mails, which may or may not be a
good thing.

With multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1, on my MUA, the body of the
e-mail displays as a blank page and I have to undertake several
contortions in order to view the text, which I usually do not bother
with, relying on a later reply which is not multipart/signed which
includes the text in question which then displays as usual.

Could be worse (or better); with multipart/signed;
protocol="application/pkcs7-signature";
I get an invitation to "Continue" which doesn't, probably because I
won't allow my MUA to process html except as plain text (for reasons of
security, of course; html has far too many attack vectors to allow it to
be processed in e-mail)

I believe most people don't know about it or know what it
means.

So that's an opportunity to educate people. For instance, perhaps
the Internet Society might be interested in taking on that task.

Is there a reason you choose to use "inline" signing with PGP
rather than multipart/signed? Is that a technical reason (e.g.,
poor interoperability)?

Ignorance or misconfiguration in my use of Thunderbird, it seems.
