Which of our tools is giving you problems? Mail plugin
Attach a screenshot of the version info for all installed components (how to: https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/where-can-i-find-version-info...):
Just installed Catalina and gpg is not reinstalled yet.
Describe your problem. Add as much detail as possible.
Is there an easy way to change back and forward between inline and MIME signatures?
Some of my recipient networks don’t accept emails with attachments.
What did you expect instead
An option or button on the email program to change back and toward between the two.
Describe steps leading to the problem.
Sent signed emails rejected by the receiving server. Due to attachments .
Are you using any other Mail.app plugins?
No.

Hi in2ndo,
welcome to the GPGTools support platform. Sorry you are having problems using GPG Suite.
GPG Mail on macOS 10.12 and newer does not support the PGP/Inline format. As a workaround for recipients relying on that undocumented format, you could use GPG Services: KB explaining how to encrypt and sign text or files
Can you share some information as to the setup not accepting PGP/MIME or in the specific case no attachments at all?
GPG Mail defaults to the only standard there is for sending OpenPGP Emails, which is PGP/MIME. The format you are referring to, is called PGP/Inline and is an undocumented non-standard format. That leads to several problems, thus we default to PGP/MIME.
While PGP/MIME allows to encrypt attachments, OpenPGP/Inline currently does not. Also, you are limited to text only. Any formatting will be ignored.
To learn more about the deficits of Inline/PGP we recommend this note of Daniel Kahn Gillmore: Inline PGP signatures considered harmful. This is the GnuPG FAQ entry covering the issue.
All the best,
Steve
