It is. I know mutt, at least, switched to the PGP/MIME attachment style of
signatures from the old ASCII-armored messages a few versions back. I
personally liked the old style better, but the new one appears to be
compliant to the current MIME standards.

I'm willing to accept a bit of annoyance in order to promote standards
compliance. If only Microsoft was thus motivated.
