Hmmm...  Do you mean 'diagnose' as in handle problems or just routinely
check?  I have no problem with signed/encrypted now:

  [-- PGP output follows -- Wed Dec 17 07:02:09 2003 --]gpg: encrypted with     
  1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 8FB53BB7, created 2001-09-18
        "Rene Clerc"
  gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 92EE4149, created 2003-03-16
        "David T-G <davidtg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"
  gpg: Signature made Tue Dec  2 10:27:17 2003 EST using DSA key ID 9ACE0AC7
  gpg: Good signature from "Rene Clerc"
  gpg:                 aka "René Clerc <rene@xxxxxxxx>"
  [-- End of PGP output --]

The only thing that I see here that could use improvement is the first
line of "gpg:" output being right against the "PHP output follows..."
header line.  I don't see how pgp_good_sign would help me there, so I
haven't bothered ;-)
