That doesn't sound like a traditional message... Are you using any fancy
characters or anything else that would require MIME-encapsulation?

Yeah; there shouldn't be any headers at all.

Yep.

Nope. LookOut! will treat that "body" as another attachment as soon as
MIME is brought into play.

Yep.
%
% Any suggestions?
Well, setting pgp_create_traditional works for me; I'm not sure why it
shouldn't work for you. Let me do some more digging, unless someone else
has the answer first.
