[expert] Grmbl: Evolution to Outlook
Hello everyone I just discovered that my Evolution PGP signed mails are completely messed up in outlook express... It shows two attachments, one with the signature and one with the message. Now, I know this is outlooks fault (it handles MIME in a pretty weird way), but it is very irritating since I sign *all* outgoing messages (on my ISP account that is). BTW, I haven't tested this, but Kmail (with PGP/MIME plugins) should suffer the same faith. The gory details as I can see is that outlook express has the strange way to encapsulate everything as attachment (when there is at least one attachment) and encapsulating other attachments in that. The problem is that it doesn't know how to treat correct messages, so they seem screwed up. The problem that this causes is that most people don't know or care about this, they use Outlook and everything else is wrong... Some even think my signatures are viruses. It is insane!
