Hokay; that seems fine.


%  
% And, :set ?charset shows:
% charset=us-ascii

That also seems fine.


% 
% And I still get these headers:

% Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

% Content-Disposition: inline
% User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.23.1i

Hokay.  Here's what I get with pgp_create_traditional=yes:

In both cases my Content-Type: is application/pgp, while you definitely
have multipart/signed, so it seems as though your mutt config is wonky
somehow.  Of course, pinning that down is the tricky part...

% 
% I don't  use send-hooks. I  operate on  folder hooks only.  Still, the
% same values are there afterward.

Hokay.

% 
% No attachments.  The only content  was edited from Vim,  and contained
% only the word 'test' and a buffer read from another file directly into
% the  message buffer,  rather  than another  part.  Mutt still  created
% separate attachments for the message and the signature.

That should be simple enough.

%

% needed.

Actually, at this point I think you're out of my depth; you've done the
debugging I would do except, perhaps, for starting mutt with a null
muttrc like

  mutt -F /dev/null

to avoid any sort of hooks (though, since you check ?pgp_create_traditional
both before and after sending that certainly seems sure enough), and so I
think we'll have to turn it over to the developers.


% 
% I'd really like for this to *not* to turn into a philosophical debate,
% or worse, a  holy war, about "the  right way to do things".  I have no

Oh, but that's what's fun, and it distracts from the real problem :-)


% doubt that  Mutt is  doing it  the right way  by following  the latest
% accepted RFCs. Unfortunately, everyone else out there is doing it "the
% wrong way", but that's no reason for  us to put up an iron curtain. My
% mother isn't  real computer  savvy (I  can't seem to  get her  to stop
% sending mail in all caps :), and her email skills are limited to "real

*grin*


% basic"  at best,  but I  still like  to be  able to  email her.  And I
% *absolutely do not* want to have to change clients just so we can read
% each other's mail.

No, no; you're right.  And it's my experience that mutt *does* let you
conform (deform? :-) your mail to suit another's MUA, giving us the best
of both worlds.


% 
% The only gripe I have, assuming my current problem turns out to be some
% other config fubar on my behalf, is that mutt seems to make the status

I sure hope that it is, because I can't figure anything else!


% quo in pgp (ie. the wrong way to do it) less convenient for the mutt
% user.  I suppose I
% could change the keybindings from <ESC>P to something easier tho, so I
% guess even that doesn't really matter.

If you don't like having to use esc-P you could always use the procmail
recipe from PGP-Notes.txt to convert the incoming email for you...


% 
% BTW, I have managed to get a single part message signed inline, but it
% is a real  pain in the ass.  It involves the macro compose  S "Fgpg -a
% --clearsign -u  . .  ." method.  It does the  job for  now, but  it is
% pretty ugly. There must be a cleaner way to do this.

There definitely should be.  Interestingly enough, though, if that works
for attachments then that's the only way to go to get an encrypted email
with attachment included over to an Outlook user without making it tough.
I have yet to try out that one, though...


% 
% Thanks for the help.

Sorry I ran out of steam before we found the answer!
