Not a great believer in the personal liberty arguments of the Free
Software community, I presume? :)

Please use a mail client that doesn't willfully encumber the deployment
of Internet-wide email security standards. Microsoft could have very
easily fixed Outlook by now to display PGP-signed messages inline, but
have chosen not to. If you are not willing to use a different mail
client, or are obligated to use Outlook, then I'm sorry, but I regard
promulgating widespread personal cryptography as more important than the
convenience of those who allow their Internet email experience to be
filtered through Microsoft's agenda.
