I'm not an MH user, but you should be able to use my PGP/MIME toolkit

I set up my mh stuff to read anything coming down the pipeline labelled as
application/pgp..
Sure. That is no problem. But according to the pgp-mime draft, this
is not going to be the name of the pgp type. This is not going to be
the _structure_ of the pgp-mime types. It is going to be very similar
to the MOSS stuff. Signed and encrypted things will be multiparts (I
think).
In fact, someone submitted a draft that would have made
application/pgp a type and it expired after getting a vigourous shaking
of a head.
I just encode the file with a filename such as "mh.pgp.asc" and put this line
in the components file for it..
#application/pgp [comment] /.../.../mh.pgp.asc
*yuck* Sounds _icky_. :)
That seems to take care of things.. of course, you have to manually edit and
encode things, but that's not a big deal, since I don't use it THAT often.
However, if someone were to come up with a better way of doing things, I'm
flexible. :)
what I _want_ to be able to do is something like:
#|application/pgp
...
#
which would pipe the content to the relevant thing. In BNF ('cause this
is going to mh-workers :)
"#|" type "/" subtype
0*( ";" attribute "=" value)
[ "(" comment ")" ]
[ "[" description "]" ]
EOL
1*line
[ "#" EOL ]
and the 1*line gets shoved off to mhn-compose-type/subtype or whatever.
Thoughts on this? It would make it _much_ easier to add support for the
pgp-mime draft and things like that
