You just explained the reason for having troubles. ;-)

The first attachment must be the "MIME"-encoded text (an internet
standard for sending e-mails).

On both the second attachment is the signature file (signature in the
meaning of a valid pgp/gpg string), multipart/signed sended (described
in RFC 1847 and 2015 AFAIK).

I'm afraid to tell you that the only chance to change this is forcing
Billy-Boy to respect standards when selling software.

Get Mozilla or Pegasus Mail. Both should be able to handle these
messages.

Nice to see that two applications developed by the same company do
differ so far ...
