 Type "?" while in mutt's index:

 <Esc>P      check-traditional-pgp  check for classic pgp

 That is "Escape-shift-p". A lower-case s will appear and you can
 then go on to verify the message just like a PGP/MIME signed message.

 I am not sure whether this feature is available in the version of
 mutt you are using.
