My general (but quite uninformed) opinion would be to go along with it as long as it didn't break the mailers that currently do handle messages sent with $p_c_t set as it is. Has anyone poked around?

Agreed. $p_c_t and $p_o_c do that (with the possible limitation of using a macro for non-plain-ascii or with-attachments messages), and it would be nice if one setting could work for all of the non-MIME mailers out that that will handle PGP/gpg anyway (eg not mailx and so on, where it wouldn't really matter). % % 'use mutt' isn't really something i'm going to tell any of my family % members anytime soon; ditto for most of my co-workers. Unfortunately, that's probably a pretty common situation. % </rant> HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
