Some mailers don't handle PGP/MIME very well. For example, with Pine, you
have to export the mail to a file, then run PGP manually on it. Maybe I'm
missing something...

Mutt only scans the headers of mails to see if they're PGP
signed/encrypted. This is a PGP/MIME thing, I think. Procmail just adds
that header to PGP messages that don't already have it.
Don't ask me why mutt is set up that way...
