Okay, if I'm naughty and comment out the ' && old_style ' in sign.c at
around 255:

    if( !detached /* && !old_style */ ) {
        int skcount=0;
        /* loop over the secret certificates and build headers   
         * The specs now say that the data should be bracket by
         * the onepass-sig and signature-packet; so we muts build it
         * here in reverse order */

I can, with GPG, send encrypted, signed and signed/encrypted mail to
myself and it all decrypts and validates properly with both PGP5 and
GPG.

I have in my .gnupg/options:
    force-v3-sigs
    cipher-algo cast5
    compress-algo 1

Commenting out code is a bad thing, though, so I'm kinda queasy about
this one.  Does there need to be another flag, or is this creating a new
bug?
