ok, i checked the archives and what i found was that people were
talking about dale's p_c_t patch.  that does not do what outlook is
expecting w.r.t. attachments.

i also got the cvs version and built that.  it behaves like 1.3.28
with dale's patch out-of-the-box; however, that is not doing what
outlook expects w.r.t. attachments either.  am i missing something?

when i send stuff from outlook, i think it first clearsigns the email
message and then clearsigns the attachment and then creates a mime
message.  when my mutt gets a hold of it, it checks the inline sig and
then i have to save off the attachment which i can then gpg --verify
from the command line.

when i send it from my mutt, if there is an attachment, i no longer
get the send inline sig prompt (which i get on non-attachment emails
because i have p_c_t set to ask-no) and mutt sends the message of as
pgp/mime, i'm guessing.  speaking of which, how can i check this w/
outlook?

so i can see how the pgp/mime stuff is easier but i still need to
communicate with quite a few outlook people so i'd like for my mutt to
give me that option.
