If you do this
( echo "-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----"
echo "Hash: SHA1"
echo
cat foo
cat foo.asc
echo
) | gpg --verify
it works.
The hash line is needed because otherwise gpg assumes this is a pgp 2
create signature and enables a workaround for this.
I am not sure why the extra empt line at the end is needed - maybe
Mutt does not output the last line.
