I would probably just send the clearsigned PGP message (using mutt or
sendmail), rather than attaching a foo.pgp file.
I use a pgp command like this to send encrypted mail from within a
program - probably some of these options will be helpful to people doing
similar things:
gpg -r 0xXXXXXXXX -ae --batch --yes --always-trust
using the "batch" option means that it'll never allow interactive
commands, --yes assumes yes on most questions, --always-trust prevents
gpg from barfing if the recipient isn't trusted (according to TFM on one
machine I'm on, this is deprecated in favor of "--trust-model always").
