This sounds like a design deficiency in mailcrypt. But it sounds
fixable; a PGP-enhanced message.el could create the MIME wonder, and
then call mailcrypt on the result, and then trivially insert the
multipart/signed junk around it. This could be done around the time
when `message-send-hook' is run, or even after that.
The only thing that should be "fixed" in mailcrypt is the dependency
on "--text follows this line--"-style message; ideally, a mailcrypt
function should be called to handle the encryption/signing of a
textual region, and it should return the result in Lisp.
If this process bombs out, the user should be presented with the
original message buffer, MML and all.
