You need to get ahold of the signed part without mutt decoding it. I
achieved it by piping the raw message to cat in mutt ("|cat > ~/tmp/foo")
and manually editing the result to cut out the other bits. I needed the
particular MIME part for the message, plus the MIME headers above it,
and possibly a trailing newline (use trial and error for that bit). You
can safely decode/save the signature attachment, it's just the message
itself (which is signed post-encoding, that is, in the "wire" format
for the mail) which you need to cut out.
