Outlook meeting requests are text/calendar 
PDF's can be text/pdf or text/x-pdf (although IMHO they should the application/pdf or similar)

I'd vote for that actually.  Theres a list of official mime types here
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/ (I guess theres many more unofficial ones!)
The only one other one that stands out that it might be appropriate to sign is richtext (but I wonder if just appending a bunch of text is going to work there?).  I also wonder if any more modern MUAs have started to use text/xml to support xhtml ???
