The answer is NO. (However, C-cC-z in Summary mode verifies a clear
signature.)

Some years ago, I proposed text/pgp to IETF, which contains a clear
signature. This content-type maintains backward compatibility.
PGP/MIME-aware mail readers can communicated with
PGP-aware-but-MIME-unaware mail readers.

Majority of IETF guys rejects my proposal simply becase there is
Multipart/Signed.

Years later, it appeared that many PGP users stick a clear signature
and do not use Multipart/Signed. So, we are now living the mess world.
Personally, I feel that the decision by IETF is a big mistake. I also
disappointed that the majority guys do not take responsibility on the
decision at all.
