yup - for attachments you'd need to use s/mime or PGP/MIME.
traditionally signed messages are useful in their own ways though -
they're neater in mailing list archives, can be checked later more
easily (since you can just copy the text into a text file and verify
it), and are more widely readable.

personally, i like having the option to do both.

mutt 1.5.0 (cvs version) does attempt to allow use of non us-ascii
characters (using utf encoding as i understand it), but i've had
inconsistent results so far.

the cvs version also adds an 'x-mutt-action' or something of the sort to
the content type, so that other people using mutt (well people using a
version of mutt that supports this, at least) won't have to do anything
special to verify the message.
