Here is my latest copy of "pgpedit", I have modified it to insert a
"Content-Type" line to that MIME mailer will automaticly
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#!/usr/local/bin/tperl4.036
# pgpedit V1.5

# to install (mh instructions)
# place this script in your path (eg ~/bin)
# create few links:
#
# ln -s /usr/local/mh/bin/repl ~/bin/pgprepl
# ln -s /usr/local/mh/bin/comp ~/bin/pgpcomp
# ln -s /usr/local/mh/bin/forw ~/bin/pgpforw
#
# Add the following to your .mh_profile:
#
# pgprepl: -editor pgpedit
# pgpcomp: -editor pgpedit
# pgpforw: -editor pgpedit
#
# To use just use the commands pgprepl or pgpcomp instead of repl or comp
#
# If you are Useing MH 6.8 with MIME you may also want to add the following:
#
# mhn-show-text/x-pgp: %ppgp -m '%F'
# mhn-store-text/x-pgp: %m%P.pgp
#
# This `instruct' MH how to interpet the MIME header "Content-Type: text/x-pgp"
# and have MH automaticly invoke pgp for devcryption or signature verification
