Well, the hashing algorithm is selected by the sender, not by the receiver. The default is set at generation of the senders key. It can be overridden by specifying the hashing algorithm by the sending party. This is probably what you mean by Evolution allowing this, however, Enigmail does not. So far for the theory. Can you give some figures for what you mean "too slow"? Which time does verification need for which message/attachment size, using which signature algorithm? Ludwig
