No the problem is Outlook being broken!

Which is a perfectly valid MIME message (AFAIK)
But what if I want my message then an attachment then my signature?
Outlook should grok this. I s'pose I can see it's point from a common
sense point of view (ie "attachments" should go at the end) but since it
doesn't distinguish between "attachments" and "inline" MIME parts it's
broken!
