The Problem is not PGP, but Outlook.
I defined two macros in my muttrc, so I can encrypt and sign
messages in a way MS Outlook (and a lot of other Windows Email
Clients) understand:

(Sorry for > 68 characters, but the lines are so long)

macro compose S "Fgpg  --clearsig=on\nj^T^Utext/plain; format=text; x-action=sign\n" 
macro compose E "Fgpg -a -e -s\nj^T^Utext/plain; format=text; x-action=encrypt\n"

The problem about this solution is that you'll have to know whether the
recipient of your mail uses a PGP/Mime capable MUA (which are only
mutt and Eudora AFAIK) or not.

PGP/Mime has great advantages so I do not understand why so many
MTAs cannot deal with it.
