On mutt 1.2.5i and probably some versions before that, the current time is
included as part of the highlighting:

[-- PGP output follows (current time: Thu Nov  1 10:57:43 2001) --]

If the current time is correct, then it's real, or else the sender is
very good at guessing what time you would read the message.
