The RFC is 2311 and is about signing and encrypting.
Signing seems to be the easiest part and will work with gpg.
For encryption we'll need pkcs-7/10 support.

Signed messages are of the type multipart/signed with the parameter
micalg specifying the algorithm used (eg. pgp-md5) and protocol specifying
the (of course) protocol (eg. application/pgp-signature).
Important while signing/verifying is that the signature includes the comple=
te mime
entity with all headers.
