Hi there, some people have asked me to keep them updated about my pgp_force_traditional patch. In fact, my old version posted to mutt-users two weeks ago contained a bug, which I've fixed now. You can find the patch at this URL:
http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/mutt.html
or, more directly:
http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/patch-1.3.24.vrr.force_traditional.2
[Sorry for the long line.]
The patch applies cleanly on 1.3.24 through 1.3.27 and is not dependent
on the outlook_compat patch anymore, though it doesn't make a lot of
sense to use it without $p_o_c.
Please note however, that I consider both my patch and the $p_o_c patch
obsolete, because Dale Woolridge was so kind and created a patch that
changes pgp_create_traditional directly. With his patch, setting $p_c_t
is enough to send a mail which will be readably by Outlook in any
character set. No funny attachments anymore.
Note however, that the usual caveats of clear-signing still apply, if
there is a broken MTA setup somewhere along the way, you might get a
broken signature. Not if Outlook would notice of course. :)
BTW, you can find Dale's patch here:

Cheers,
Viktor
