There's been a wishlist bug for part of this for quite some time (I know 'cause I filed it) - bug 4029. Add comments to that one (and feel free to change the short summary to something more descriptive. On Fri, Oct 12, 2001 at 08:21:26PM -0700, Eric Lambart wrote:
Yes, this is a great idea. I think you should file a "wishlist" bug. Personally I don't know anybody who (has told me s/he) prefers HTML messages, but I'd really like to be able to select certain contacts that will either A) get PGP-signed or B) PGP-encrypted mail. Awesome idea! --Eric On Fri, 2001-10-12 at 18:44, Kris Newman wrote:Something along the lines of the "Prefers HTML" switch? Hey, I like it! That way Evo stays "not broken", and I don't have to explain to my Mother that she needs to click an attachment.

You could then set the default behaviour to encrypt and/or sign without worrying about those users who don't care about or can't handle encryption.

And therefore that means you have to give up potential email security? (I agree, it's a pain - when I read this mail from Outlook Express, I have to open attachment #1 for all signed emails. Me, I put up with it)I'd put up with it too, but I'm actually thinking off the 50 or so people who will, every time I send them an email, call me and say, "I can't read your email". Or, in my case, the even worse result. I send an email to an potential employer, forget to turn off GPG signing, and get my email deleted because they can't read it. Most people would rather complain than figure out how to open the attachment.-- ************************************************************* Kris Newman http://www.khaosx.com mailto:krisnewman khaosx com ************************************************************* _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution_______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution_______________________________________________ evolution maillist - evolution ximian com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
