Good luck.
usage. Despite newer standards, Traditional PGP is still a standard, and it should remain supported.
There is an RFC for traditional PGP? And you can encrypt/decrypt attachments as easily with mutt as you could it with PGP/MIME? And you can use other encodings than ASCII for traditional PGP? Ah, I forgot, you like to force every people to use ASCII characters only.
It's not a bug, and it's not a work-around. It's legitimate, standard, and common functionality.
It’s deprecated since the first PGP/MIME RFC in 1996 (this was for 10 years). I’m glad that mutt still can read it (more or less, those mails are not quite readable here), but it should forbid to send it.
Shade and sweet water!
