Either Shane Wegener's $p_o_c patch or Dale Wooledge's pgp-traditional
patch, as I understand it, though I have not yet run the full gamut of
tests under 1.3.28 to know for sure.  I'm almost certain that Dale's
patch let's you just set $pgp_create_traditional and not have to worry
about $p_o_c and yet still talk with LookOut! successfully.

BTW, since you are running 1.2.5 you ought to upgrade to 1.2.5.1, sans
security hole, and so you might as well go to 1.3.28 anyway.

Actually, probably not; I haven't looked there recently to see what patch
contributors are listed, but Shane's and Dale's patches are pure feature
and aren't part of the official mutt package.

You can search through the archives for sw.pgp_outlook_compat and/or
dw.pgp-traditional, since they were both posted to mutt-users, or you can
surf over to 

  http://mutt.justpickone.org/

and look in the cocktail directory for Dale's and further under the Old
directory for Shane's.  While you're there, you can check my 00-Sources
file and probably find each of their URLs.

A final possibility is a macro in the compose menu to manually sign
and/or encrypt the message before you send it.  You can find some
discussion on the subject with serach terms like "pgp + macro + davidtg"
because I remember taking part in a few of them.  The idea lives on as
the only alternative for some because ...

no attachments and use us-ascii characters, or at least that's the way
it's been through 1.3.x so far.
