All of those clients are using the totally deprecated (like 10 years
ago) way of sending PGP messages. It requires scanning the entire
textual content of the message for "magic" strings, which is very
inefficient and is disabled by default. You need to enable pgp_inline
in imp/config/mime_drivers.local.php
The correct way of sending PGP (or S/MIME messages) is via
multipart/encrypted (e.g. RFC 3156). It requires no resources to
determine whether the message is signed, encrypted, or both -- all of
this can be determined via MIME types of the subparts.
