I love how, until I started adding:

(The strange attachment is my digital signature; do not be alarmed)

to my signature, people would often respond with "I couldn't open your
attachment" rather than alarm... If nothing else, you might just do
this. I haven't gotten any confused/alarmed emails since I took this
policy. I have this vague feeling like pgp/mime is the Right Way to do
things anyway.

FWIW, that signature line actually has proven successful. I haven't
gotten any confused/alarmed emails back from people in the year or so
since I started using it.
