my understanding is that the old method of signing (with everything
included in the text) is deprecated because it can only handle one (ie
the US) character set.  PGP/MIME is the new standard but as yet is not
implemented by all clients (and can result in unreadable output in
outlook apparently).

you can set an option to use the old style of encryption; i'm not sure
if there's an easy way to make mutt automatically check signatures that
use the old style method, although i'm sure a quick search on google
would turn up something regarding this.
