This is because the PGP signature is a part of the MIME message [1].
Don't know how to explain MIME, but it is, iirc, a way to add the
attachments to an email. MIME messages have always these special MIME
headers telling the mailer where which part is starting. The message
text is one of these parts (text/plain i think) and the signature is
another part (pgp/application i guess).
If you would like to have it the normal way round you can do it by hand.
Write the message, sign it manually and insert this signed text into the
message you're composing.
