Hi, of course it is possible to create traditional PGP messages in a decent editor. I just successfully tried to use the Mailcrypt package for Emacs when editing a message for Mutt in post.el mode.
There's just one caveat: I had to set noedit_headers to avoid signing the headers as well. I originally installed Mailcrypt for use with GNUS -- there might be a way to configure it to ignore the header lines as they show up when using post.el with edit_headers=yes. That said, signing can be done my typing: M-x mailcrypt-sign When editing is finished, Mutt still believes that the message is unsigned cleartext, and you should leave it at that. Messages signed like this can be verified by Pine users who have configured some way PGP support -- I testet it with pgp4pine. This solution is unsatisfactory for a Mutt user, of course.

To sum up, there are currently two approaches to creating widely compatible PGP messages: applying the ``PGP Outlook compatibility patch'' (a misnomer!) or invoking PGP outside of Mutt (using an editor or a Mutt pipe macro). I suggest renaming the patch to ``PGP compatibility patch'', and I agree with Will Yardley and Michael Elkins who voted for integrating it with the next full Mutt release. Someone please tell the developers. Cheers, Cristian -- }{ Cristian Pietsch }{ http://www.interling.de
