Given the fact that we're stuck using text/plain and processing the body
of the message, pine's filters are very useful. With mutt, I have to
ignore the software integration and fashion workarounds to be compatible
with most other users.

I use a pair of vim macros to clearsign or encrypt while editing. I use a
procmail filter to change the MIME type of messages containing armor
headers so that mutt will call GPG to process the message before
displaying it -- much like pine's display filter.

This won't really get any better until mailers that support PGP/MIME are
used by more people.
