Privacy selection Was: ASCII armor plus
I have just switched to use Claws mail and this gives me 3 options in Privacy System: PGP inline, PGP Mime and S Mime.

It is a *16 year* old standard and has been implemented even earlier. So I guess the recommended selection should be PGP Mime like this? -- Klaus signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

Unless you want to mess up signatures, etc. Seriously, while PGP inline is not dead, it is only utilized by some very old MUAs. Modern MUAs handle PGP Mime just fine. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Modern MUAs handle PGP Mime just fine. Modern MUAs, yes. Modern MTAs, no. The mail servers play hob with attachments issue is very real. I've personally seen it affect GMail, Exchange and Mailman, along with half-a-dozen poorly-configured sendmail and postfix installations. I'm not telling people to not use PGP/MIME. I am saying that PGP/MIME is not as reliable as its proponents would like to believe. My best advice is that if you use PGP/MIME, be ready to fall back to inline traffic. ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
