gpg test, and a question

Hi all.

I have found the time to sit down, and join what seems to be an ever
widening circle of gpg users on this list. I want to see if my message
gets to the list, and I also have a question for those using gpg with
mutt.

When first testing my gpg and mutt setup, I was using the newer
signature type, where it I believe sends the signature as an
attachment. When using the newer signature format, I got the following
when reading test messages sent to myself.

Invoking gpg
Signature successfully verified

Followed by:

PGP output follows (current time: Mon Mar 15 14:29:44 2004) --]
gpg: Signature made Mon Mar 15 14:27:41 2004 CST using DSA key ID
79725320
gpg: Good signature from "Gregory Nowak <greg at romuald.net.eu.org>"
[-- End of PGP output --]

[-- The following data is signed --]

In addition, mutt's status bar said "NS" for new and signed message.

However, after putting

set pgp_create_traditional=yes

in my .muttrc, all I get in my signed messages now is:

- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
 
followed by my signature at the bottom.

Is it possible that I could get the behavior described above with the
older signatures, where mutt actually calls gpg to verify the
signature, and the message status line shows "NS" instead of just "N"?
If this is possible, then could somebody please point me to info on
what I need to do to get this to work? Hope that makes sense. Thanks
in advance.

Greg

P.S. Since the mutt that comes with slackware 9.1 in patches/packages
doesn't support in-line signatures, I've built my mutt from Igor's
source. In case someone would like to take advantage of gpg and mutt
under slackware 9.1, and if you don't want to be bothered with
building from source, I've posted a slackware package of mutt 1.4.2I
from Igor's source on my ftp site:
