If we change the subject to digital signatures I think that having the
signature in a separate MIME part is the modern way. You had the PGP
signature in the body of the message (and it's fine with me and my mail
client) but separate MIME parts allow clients to display and save
different parts correctly. Raw message data looks like this:

    From: [...]
    To: [...]
    Subject: [...]
    Date: [...]
    Mime-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="=-=-=";
        micalg=pgp-sha256; protocol="application/pgp-signature"

    --=-=-=
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

    Here's the message body.

    --=-=-=
    Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc"

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
    Version: GnuPG v2

    [...]
    -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
    --=-=-=--
