I use:
set pgp_create_traditional=ask-no
in my .muttrc. When i have a message to a correspondent who uses Eudora
3.x and an old pgp (3.6, I think), I hit "y", otherwise return. I suppose
I should automate that with a send-hook. Real Soon Now.
Note: that combination can handle signed or encrypted, but not both signed
and encrypted.
