There is no attachment. It's a digital signature, which means that
before and after the message there is some extra text which your mail
program *interprets* as an attachment. But in fact, all it is seeing is

Note how much text there is, in addition to the digital signature, which
you don't see normally. Your email program takes all this plain text
and interprets it according to some rules. In some cases, it may
interpret the signature as an "attachment", even though it is not.
