This can be done with 
set pgp_create_traditional=yes
in your .muttrc.

It doesn't look like this message was signed, so if you intended to sign
it it didn't happen. You can get an idea of what to put in the
pgp_*-command settings from the examples/gnupg.rc file in the mutt docs.
If you intend to sign or incrypt messages regularly you will also want
to publish your public key to a keyserver with
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --send-key <key_id>
where <key_id> is the key you created. You can put the keyserver you
want to use in your .gnupg/options or .gnupg/gpg.conf file (depending on
the version of gnupg you are using).
