I had recent problems with mutt's "legacy" pgp support. One must *NOT* allow
mutt to send non-pgp/mime messages, for they're sent with an application/pgp
mime type, which is obviously not a text/* variant :)
pgp/mime compliant messages are sent with a far more proper mime type, and
are perfectly readable in, e.g. pine.
I could care less about outcrook express -- which cannot handle multipart
pgp/mime messages right. If one is going to use bovine crap for a MUA, one
better be able to deal with the smell.
(this message sent non-signed to make sure even OE users can read it :P )
