Not just Outlook.  Try PINE and Eudora, not to mention anything else 
that doesn't explicitly support it.  I use Eudora, and I have to 
double-click on your "attachment" and wait for PGP to look at your 
key before I can see what you're saying.  Then, Eudora won't quote 
your message properly when I hit Reply.  Since you speak English, 
what's wrong with using inline-PGP?

Outlook, PINE and Eudora are probably the most widely-used three 
mailers in existence today.  Knowingly using a scheme which makes it 
hard to read in them, without good reason, is beyond my comprehension.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Now, let's make a test using søme éuröpeàn chåraçterß and see how 
inline-PGP handles them...
