The problem ist the mime handling of outlook. Outlook hasn't
really mime handling, it just had an idea what mime is...

You can setup your box reading "outlook" encrypted/signed mails.
If you use procmail as your mda, then procmail ist able to
correct the wrong mimehandling of outlook an others.

        * ^-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
        | formail \
            -i "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=sign"
}


In the other direction exist a macro, which breaks the correct
mime handling of mutt. I have not test this macro.

You have to encrypt your mail as pgp/gpg output  as the bodytext
without mimeheaders. Then Outlook an others are able the decrypt
it.
