Right, we (isn't it still only me who wants to solve something ;-)
don't need mutt at all. I've tested a few things and found out
two facts. First of all, I now know that it works. And second,
I totally forgot that I'm running procmail on my machine which
rewrites the content-type header so that I don't need Esc+P at
all...

Only forward. I just want to redirect mails to user@machine to
another account encrypted with my key (because I don't want
any mail to be forwarded as plaintext).

What I'm going to do is to simply encrypt the content without
any ugly hack. I put it in a mailbox on my machine and run
some shellscript(s) over it to recover the original and write
them back to another folder.

Cheers, Rocco.
