-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
AFIK mutt is the only mailer that attaches the gpg sig as an attachment.
KMail also wraps the entire message in the GPG signature.
I think this came up before and it was decided that mutt was using an older
implementation while KMail and Pine where using the new standard.
I forget the details on it though. Knowing what security freaks the KMail
guys are I find it hard to belive that KMail is using an insecure method.
