I have been in touch with hushmail support also, and they understand the issue and sent some info concerning this also:
---------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have done a search and found this website that shows (technically) what the difference is between PGP MIME and OPENPGP. http://www.imc.org/smime-pgpmime.html Hushmail Webmail simply does not support PGP MIME. For this I apologize. ----------So, for my own contacts I plan on researching and trying to write a plugin or possibly a hook for IMP that will send non-PGP/MIME email to hushmail domains. So far this looks like it will me a MAJOR hack to get it to work, but I am going to try, and will certainly share.
If anyone has any pointers, experience or references for such an effort, I'd appreciate the insight.
Thanks -- I prefer the privacy of encrypted email. My public key is attached. Quoting Harakiri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

The only advantage of this is, that you can fetch headers of all body parts of a message (like hushmail probably do) - and decrypt on the fly in the client - when you use pgp/mime - you cannot know how many and which attachment are encrypted.
