You may want to look at=20
http://muppet.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/~gero/gpg-2comp.tar.gz a tricky
perl script written by Gero Treuner <gero@faveve.uni-stuttgart.de>.
This scripts is a wrapper which should be used in combination with
Mutt (don't ask me whether it works in other environments) and it
allows to sign, encrypt and sign+encrypt Messages with GnuPG, which
are readable for PGP 2.x.

This script give you full PGP 2.x interoperability as long as you use
RSA keys only (for signing and encryption to _all_ recipients).
