The message was signed.  IE seems to be braindead when it comes to displaying
signed (trusted) content using PGP/MIME, as oppsed to PGP-Inline Signing.  

If you want to read the content, use another e-mail too, or hit "reply" and the
text will magically be inlined in your response, as if IE knew it was there all
along.

/me wonders if this will be read, since it's signed PGP/MIME too.
