Out of curiosity, what the heck are you on about?

Rob's mail consisted of two parts, a text/plain and an
application/pgp-signature.

Where you get this "untitled.7" thing from, I really have no idea.
Sounds like your MUA is extremely broken, or at least misconfigured.
(particularly with it spewing lots of files across your desktop as you
described).

Inline PGP was the way before MIME became standardised.  It poses a few
problems easily rectified using MIME, hence why the proposed standard is
using MIME instead.  That being said, a friend who also used a Mac also
enjoyed complaining loud and strong about his broken MUA being unable to
properly handle PGP/MIME attachments.  Perhaps that platform just needs
a decent MUA written for it?

Anyone feel like a McMutt for breakfast?  ;)
