The problem is that Outlook is setup to use inline pgp signatures/encryption. Evolution uses the IETF standard for PGP over email, which is commonly referred to as PGP/MIME (see rfc3156 for details).
inline pgp and PGP/MIME are not compatable. PGP/MIME is a much better format as it allows encrypting/signing of the entire email including attachments (or any/all parts individually)... whereas inline pgp only works with text/plain emails. We have posted a bounty reward for anyone who implements inline pgp support in evolution: http://www.gnome.org/bounties someone actually just sent us a partial patch (which only allows sending of inline pgp-signed messages thus far) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] just the other day, so with any luck this feature will be available in 2.0 Jeff (PS isn't job317 from Mission Impossible or something?)
