  If you want to compensate for broken clients, clearsign your mail
  (include the sig in the body of your mail) instead of using s/mime.
 
 A client is not broken if it doesn't implement s/mime.  It seems
 reasonable to use a description for the signature attachment so it
 doesn't show up as a random unnamed attachment in such mailers.

OK, but do you know how to actually add the descricption?

PS: There was some trouble getting my public key from keyservers. This
seems to have been solved by 'set pgp_sign_as="0x07182FBC"', in other
words, prepending my keyID with "0x" to indicate it's a hexadecimal
value. The mutt manual gave a hint on this but IMHO could be clearer in
this respect.

Some people using worse MUAs have complained about my gpg signature.
KMail, for example, doesn't recognize the MIME type Mutt produces. They
asked for an attachment-description of the signature. Does anybody know
how to set things up?
