WIth PGP partitioned format, IMP does not decrypt the message.   
However IMP does decrypt if it is sent PGP/MIME.  Unfortunately, PGP  
corp desided to screw with the RFC and if you send a message using  
their product to anyone using OpenPGP or GnuPG who are using  
Thunderbird in the PGP/MIME format you can not read it in Thunderbird.  
  You have to download the attachment and decrypt it external to the  
program.  If you send it as PGP partitioned then Thunderbird and  
OpenPGP will decrypt inside Thunderbird and you can read it as normal.

It is a vicious cycle.
