I just compared an email of mine from a few weeks ago (prior to my
email client update, it was my announcement of my new DVD burner) to the
one you just sent. They are both -

Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

With no further encoding or partitioning.  So they should both appear
the same in your webmail.  This has been the format I have been sending
in for ages, until I updated my email client yesterday and that format
was no longer an option.

This email should end up as -

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

Which logically splits it into several parts, probably the text and the
GPG signature.  As I have said a few times, I would like to change
back, but the new email client won't let me.  For now, GPG signing is
more important, so I put up with it.
