excellent, thanks for the help!  i'll look around for the patch,
mutt.org i'm thinking.

if i have an email to which i add an attachement and then choose the
encrypt and sign options with pgp_create_traditional, will the
attachement be encrypted as well or must i encrypt and sign it by
itself?  my guess is the latter as that appears to be why people are
now moving (flame material, i know) towards the pgp/mime method.
