Actually gpgsplit can be used to slit an OpenPGP message.  In theory it
is possible to convert an encrypted and signed mail into a PGP/MIME
signed mail.  However, this requires that the creator strictly followed
the suggestions from RFC-3156.  In fact it is better to not use the
combined method but do signing and encryption at the MIME level; which
makes it trivial to strip the encryption layer.
