Which is pretty much exactly what I do.

PGP/MIME uses a combination of detached signatures and MIME encoding to
hide PGP blocks from view.  Unlike X-Pgp, PGP/MIME retains at least some
form of block delimitation which means that unless something really broken
happened it should be possible to reconstruct the message so as to be able
to validate the signature.

MIME itself is Evil, but that is a separate issue. :)
