These are the ones signed with "detached" gpg signatures surely you
mean??

My message does not consist of an text/sig pair of attachments. Yet it
too has an GPG signature embedded with the text in the actual message
body. It also has an embedded instruction as to which pgp server my
public key can be found.  

While I [obviously] prefer the embedded method over what I call a
detached sig. Both are examples of using gpg (or pgp) And a good clue
that the sender wants it to be possible to verify that was received was
in fact exactly what he or she sent. And that he or she did actually send
them.

One reason I prefer to use the embedded ascii form is it made it easy
for me to start the signing process from my editor instead of "having"
to depend on my mail client for it. 

Why so many seam to prefer the detached signature method, I do not know???
