Your original suggestion was that it push it to the router. Security-wise, this
is very different from the router pulling it. (Hint - consider the authentication
issues, not only for a correctly set up machine, but for likely misconfigurations
actually seen out in the field).

My behavior hasn't changed because my MUA has been able to understand the
formats originally defined in RFC1847 and RFC2015, as updated by RFC3156, for
over a decade now. If you don't like it, complain to your vendor, or find
a vendor who can follow the RFCs. Or you can fix it yourself by visiting
http://www.openpgp.org/resources/downloads.shtml and finding a plugin for your
MUA. A number of them are listed at http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/related_software/frontends.html#win
Curse the dark, or light a match. You decide, it's your dark.
