This is an inline signed message: The Content-Type is text/plain, as for a 
normal, unsigned message, and the signed message is just inserted in the body 
of the mail.

What you do (and what I usually do) is PGP/MIME: the Content-Type is 
multipart/signed, the first MIME part contains the message text, and the 
second part contains the signature (in gpg-speak a detached signature).
