TB!'s support for PGP is in fact one of the reasons I switched to it
(from Eudora).

I currently work overseas (Former Soviet Union),where the hackers and
virus writers are legion (and quite proficient). I started to use PGP
because of several incidents when people received e-mail purportedly
from me. Explaining that I was not in the country, and therefore had
no e-mail access at the time, did no good. I therefore started using
PGP so that people could verify whether I'd in fact sent the message
in question. Not many people used PGP, meaning they could not verify
my signature, but at least it was there.

At the time, I had frequent problems getting valid signatures with
Eudora. As a result, I started looking around and found TB!. While I
switched initially because I wanted (and needed) better PGP support,
I've since found that it's also a much better program overall.
