While dealing with the one person I've ever had complain about my PGP/MIME
signed mail[0], I realized that you could probably write software to
do a machine transform of a standard PGP/MIME message into the older
flat format.  When you look at them in a dumb editor, there is almost
no difference in format.

[0] As far as I'm concerned his problem was that his mailer was a lot
dumber then it though it was.  It thought it could handle MIME, but it
screwed up the handling of multipart messages.  Simply displaying it
is unpretty, but quite readable.
