Not sure, as I never used Outlook, but it sounds like this is just
another way of (not) displaying unknown MIME structures...


Evo only knows PGP/MIME and does not understand the old PGP/Inline.
Unfortunately most mail clients still seem to use inline these days...

PGP/Inline support is planned for forthcoming Evolution 2.0:

If you want to raise your voice for GPG/Inline support, check out these
bugs:

support for receiving in-line pgp

support for sending in-line pgp

Do not use Outlook. "Friends don't let friends use Outlook." ;)

Seriously, if Outlook really drops that MIME part entirely, you will
have to wait until PGP/Inline is implemented in Evolution or you are
stuck to encrypt/sign manually and send this text...
