You cannot encrypt and sign using PGP/MIME before actually hitting send.
This will not work. You have to enable the 'sign when completed' and
'encrypt when completed' options and then send the message. The message
and attachment will be PGP/MIME signed and encrypted during the sending
process.

This happened to me while using PGP v6.5.8ckt. I never did figure out
what caused it. Upgrading to PGP v 8 cured the problem. You could also
try fully uninstalling and then reinstalling PGP.

If the file is encrypted by itself then yes. If the message and file are
PGP/MIME encrypted then you wouldn't have to go through that hassle.

No.
