Okay, I concede that you might want to have multiple inline
parts. MIME certainly allows it, and Outlook probably should have some
concept of inline parts vs. "attachments".
However, I think that in the case that brought this up, it is expected
that the signature be part of the traditional message body. I consider
this really a user interface problem on the Gnus side - an unfortunate
collision of the properties of MML and signature handling.
