Hi,

Probably Mutt doesn't follow the standard, and even doing it
"correctly" (by adding the MIME), in the end it drops the message
inline, instead as a separate portion of the mail, which Thunderbird
+Enigmail decrypts because they know what to do with inline PGP texts.

About the second headers quote, the test to yourself, don't get
confused by the decryption. I mean, the MIME is still pgp-encrypted
but, when you decrypt, the headers are changed by those because they
are inside the PGP message block. Decrypt the PGP message block
separately and you'll find the 3 bottom lines even when you are
outside Sylpheed.

Regards.
