The parts of Greg's message that you replied to above, as shown in
Mutt's message view screen are:

  I     1 <no description>              [text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 2.1K]
  I     2 <no description>                [applica/pgp-signat, 7bit, 0.2K]

So, there *is* an application/pgp-signature part, but it's the second.
The first one, which is text/plain, contains the message text.

For a while, I considered using `set pgp_create_traditional=yes' in my
.muttrc, to avoid problems with broken mailers like Outlook Express.
It quickly gets annoying to users who use better mailers :-/
