This you must explain:
This particular post of yours had the following structure:
multipart/mixed (only one part)
multipart/signed (three parts)
text/plain
application/pgp-signature
text/plain
The signed part specifies "micalg=pgp-sha1" and protocol="application/
pgp-signature". This requirement means readers with mail clients that
can handle this are favored. Those unlucky people left on the outside
have to filter such messages through some plug-in or external program.
That is, the text content is not available uncovered by the signature.
On the other hand, if it had this structure:
multipart/mixed (two parts)
text/plain
application/pgp-signature
Then everyone could read the text part, but anyone who wanted to would
still have the means to authenticate.
That is, the tone you create is "read this at your own risk", and that
comes across as quite unfriendly.
