  Well, I'm not sure how to do this on the command line, but in a script
(or possibly on the command line given enough voodoo) you could
gpg-encrypt the file first, use --output to generate a gpg-crypted
output file, and then call mutt with -a to attach that file to a
message.  Is that what you had in mind?

  Yeah right, like there's something you can't do with mutt.  :)
