Well, we use Microsoft Exchange as the Mail server and Outlook as the
client.  Outlook sees the message itself, but the GPG signature arrives
as an attachment (signature.asc) ...

I have been very unsuccessful in forcing it to not attach...  I was
under the impression that the signature should be ascii...  Any idea why
it's showing up as an attachment?

Not sure yet ..  was wondering so I could start playing with the
parameters in an effort to get this to work in an expected manner.

Yes, that's basically what I mean ...  Apparently GPG changed since
1.0.7 (which is what RH8.0 ships with) and is supposed to now use a
gpg.conf file rather than options.  Although, it still read options if
it's there...

Oh, ok ...  :)  Was just curious...  You have a FAQ question explicitly
stating that Evolution no longer supports PGP, but still call it PGP
within the program ...  Just a little confusing...  I get the point of
it though...
