What this kind of kludge:
1. .mutt/sendhooks.rc is sourced in your muttrc.
2. identify the evil headers in procmail
3. pass the message from outlook through a filter program ala
lbdb.
4. this filter oudb keeps a list of users who are outlook
users and makes sure to eliminate duplicates.
5. if a new user is added then a send-hook is appended to
.mutt/sendhooks.rc
The problems are many but at least from session to session you should
be protecting outlook users. The biggest problem is during a session
when you receive new mail from an outlook user not in your oudb. They
might get mail from you that would crash their machines. As a side
benefit mail initially from you to an outlook user would still not be
signed.
I might try to do this with a python script for the filter since I am
in the process of learning python.

PS. I am having problems with windows users and my gpg signing as
well. If you see any problems with my gpg sig please inform me.
