Having just taken a quick look, it appears the messages you like are
just plain text with PGP markup, and the ones you don't are
multipart/signed.
IIRC correctly any unrecognized multipart subtype is supposed to be
rendered as multipart/mixed, so you should see the message fine,
though the signature will probably appear as an attachment.
If you're seriously suggesting that all signing of messages should be
done entirely in-band within a plain-text message then, well, I
disagree... And so do Microsoft (IIRC they support S/MIME)
