Is point at the very end of the message when you attach the file? Even
after the signature? Otherwise the last part of the mail isn't the word
document but a text/plain part...

Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns?  Given that a
signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to
attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages.  Seize the
opportunity and don't waste your signature on bullshit that nobody cares about.
