True. copy and paste won't work though.

Wait... you use mutt which has PGP/Mime support... it should automatically
fix this for for you... just save the extension you want to the place you
want. Right arrow -> (vi directional keys to choose right attachement) ->
"s". This is one of many reasons mutt rules - native PGP/Mime support.

Or am I misunderstanding your workflow?

NOTE: What follows is an interesting observation and thought... NOT an
invitation for people to start an argument about whether people should sign
patches.

<observation>
When Linus designed his Signed-off-by system, he'd originally talked about
using PGP, but had a few reasons he chose not to... as I recall, one of them
was, if your going to use PGP as a method of tracking and validation, which
is great, you gotta store that somewhere, and writing something to track all
that was a lot more work then just adding a Signed-off-by line. But I think
it woulda been cool. It's nice to know that no one can send a patch that
gets attributed to me that I didn't write.
</observation>

That said, once again... the above was just an interesting observation, I'm
sure Greg doesn't want a flame-fest about
pgp-vs-signedoffby-vs-smime-vs-nothing-vs-yourfavoritething.
