Can't do that. Not with the money grubbing higher-ups ;) I've found that the way that mutt supports pgp, doesn't work right with their template processing stuff, so you have to pgp -sa the file then e-mail it in for it to work. They've not lost my key (that i'm aware of), and only returned templates I sent with the mutt pgp stuff, but not with the ELM2.4 ME+ (that works correctly).
I have gone to silly lengths to ensure that I am giving them a valid signature. Once I signed the template, and then verified the signature. I then copied it to another machine with a different PGP version and re-verified the signature. Then I mailed it to myself off-site and verified the signature on the remote system to ensure the mail system wasn't breaking something. Finally, I mailed it to hostmaster () internic net and cc'd myself on and off-site. Both copies I got back verified fine. The Internic took a few days and then bounced it because they couldn't verify the signature.
