I suspect that that's what's happening in this case, since the example
message (which had Content-Type: text/plain) got modified by my procmail
rules and mutt successfully checked the signature.
But the rule that prevents this from happening with multipart messages
is necessary, because the modification that is done by that rule will
prevent mutt (or any MUA) from dealing with multipart messages. So,
it's a tradeoff:
- Do you want automatic signature checking, but need to go through some
fairly complex steps to get at attachments.
- Or do you want to be able to actually use attachments right from in
mutt, with manual signature checking being fairly easy.
Myself, I'll stick with manually checking signatures when necessary.
