Subject: What method do *you* use for signing Usenet posts?

I've recently switched to Oort and PGG and have started signing all outgoing
messages. I hadn't realized that people in some Usenet groups were going to
get seriously upset at my usage of PGP/MIME signatures ("Ack! You're
sending us viruses!"). Now, I have every intention of continuing to sign my
mail and postings, but need some advice. What method of signing should I
use? I see three problems:
1) Some people freak out when they see attachments (silly Outlook Express
users. :) ).
2) Some mailers and newsreaders freak out when they see attachments ("Hey, I
know, I'll just display a blank message!").
3) Some people freak out when they see plaintext signatures inserted at the
end of an email message ("Your computer must be broken because I couldn't
read that last part of your email.").
Has anyone found a way to peacefully co-exist with people who get upset when
they see something they don't understand?
