Mutt is capable of signing in the old style and the method is detailed
in the file PGP-Notes.txt which is part of Mutt's documentation:

  Q: "I don't like that PGP/MIME stuff, but want to use the
      old way of PGP-signing my mails.  Can't you include
      that with mutt?"
        
  No.  Application/pgp is not really suited to a world with
  MIME, non-textual body parts and similar things.  Anyway,
  if you really want to generate these old-style
  attachments, include the following macro in your ~/.muttrc
  (line breaks for readability, this is actually one line):
        
  macro compose S "Fpgp +verbose=0 -fast
        +clearsig=on\ny^T^Uapplication/pgp; format=text;
        x-action=sign\n"

HTH,
