I get the same complaints from people who read my e-mails in Outlook, because I always GPG sign them. I'm worried this may cause people to delete my e-mails without reading them in fear of it being a virus. My suggestion would be to implement straight-text signing of e-mails, as well as the MIME technique (I can see Jeff shuddering). I know signing an e-mail via MIME is the best solution for modern mail clients that know what a PGP/GPG signature is. However, Outlook is quite a widely used client, and having e-mails not read is a bit of a time waster. I have to admit, I'm quite torn on this issue. It's Outlook's fault, blatantly. But considering the market share, maybe Evo should accomodate. On Mon, 2001-11-26 at 17:45, Jim Scadden wrote:
I have had the same problem as well. It only happens when I send messages encrypted/signed with gpg (haven't tried pgp). The messages display fine in Evolution, but have the body as an attachment in Eudora & Outlook Express (they're the only two I have tried). I had complaints, so I don't sign my e-mails by default any more.

I'm getting complaints from users about the pain of having to view the attachment to read my messages. Am I doing something wrong? Have I missed some pref? I could send the message as HTML, but that causes other issues with nasty clients. I'd like to tell them to use a real client, but that's not nice either. Is there an Outlook setting I should tell them about? My pref would be to convert them off OE, but I don't think that's possible this time.
