actually, there is. it is NOT the job of the mail client to have to parse PGP specific data formats. It is a much solution for the pgp signature data to be detached from the actual text content of the message (or binary content even). it also makes defines what must be done to the message body before signing is to occur so that every client can be sure to do it all the same. This is not the case for inline pgp signed messages, and therefor in many instances inline pgp does not work. > Evolution has got to be changed to add a code block at the > end of the message. no, this will not happen. if you would like to contribute code to allow evolution to do this, we will accept a patch but I refuse to implement it myself. also, please see bugs 17540 and 17541 on http://bugzilla.ximian.com for more issues with inline pgp that you will need to work around before we will accept a patch for it.
