So why on God's earth does everybody copy it when replying?  Another of
Microsoft's "ideas", I guess.

That was a PGP/MIME signature.  This is a standard, defined in RFC 2015,
and it is useful unlike the Microsoft "stationary" crap which has no use
whatsoever and is not any sort of standard.  If your MUA can't handle
PGP/MIME I suggest you find a MUA which is little less outdated.

No, some attachments are useful.  PGP/MIME signatures for one.  I've
probably attached small patches or C source files in messages to this
list (they may well be text/plain though, I'm not sure).  I think the
only messages which need banning are multipart/alternative.
