Recent Outlook versions can handle this. OE and Windows Mail don't but
you don't want to use OE anyway cause it has various other malfunctions.

Recipients have to deal with inline sigs even more than with attached
ones. The first thing you see when reading an inline signed mail with a
MUA which doesn't remove it, is no friendly greeting but the signing
header.
