There is nothing wrong with MS Outlook express. You need to stem

Just because it is the dominant MUA does not make it correct.  There are
plenty of MUA's out there that have no problem displaying those messages.
If you want to see them, then use one of those MUA's, or get MS to fix its
mailers.

I suppose the reason that outlook doesn't support PGP attachments isn't
because MS is promoting a different standard?  So much for interoperability.
