Does Outlook support PGP/MIME? I doubt that it does.

If PGP/MIME encrypted yes. AFAIK, Outlook does not support PGP/MIME. If
Outlook does support PGP/MIME encryption then decrypting the message
will decrypt the message body and attachment together.

If Outlook doesn't support PGP/MIME, then what it's doing is encrypting
the text body and then separately encrypting the attachment. This is why
you have to be manually decrypting the attachment after saving it to
disk.
