MEW, an Emacs messaging package, also does PGP/MIME. I think the tm
package (a MIME add-on) can also be configured to create PGP/MIME.

Despite the "deprecation," the old way seems to be the most
portable. Sadly, PGP/MIME doesn't have any built-in backwards
compatibility, so it's not very useful for widespread communication.

[I've actually seen complaints from Eudora users that their mailer
will treat _any_ MIME parts as "attachments" and auto-save them to a
defined directory. So PGP/MIME signatures and those annoying v-card
things just pile up. Not a good reason not to use PGP/MIME, just a
pain in the butt from a widely-used MUA.]
