You left out the MIME header that's actually causing the problem:

] Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-md5;
]  protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="0eh6TmSyL6TZE2Uz"

My MUA understands multipart/mixed and multipart/alternative; it doesn't
understand multipart/signed and therefore has no clue what to do with the
message as a whole, even if it does understand one of the component's type.

If anyone has a procmail recipe for dropping the second part and promoting the
text/* to main body, I'm all ears.
