[Evolution] Recipients using Outlook see PGP as attachments

[Michael J Schulz <crynar portstorm com>]

Since Evolution sends PGP encrypted text MIME encoded as 'multipart/
encrypted; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted"' Outlook gives it
filename and displays it as an attachment.  An Outlook user has to save
the attachment, decode it (or jsut cut and past the PGP part), then
decrypt it.  

Are you planning on having an option to send encrypted mail so that
Outlook will get it in an inline format instead of encoded?


Evolution does it like this.

--=-CBLr0rt5j6ACEWZAUyOd
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: application/pgp-encrypted

Version: 1
--=-CBLr0rt5j6ACEWZAUyOd
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: PGP 6.5.8

   Encrypted text is here.

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----

--=-CBLr0rt5j6ACEWZAUyOd--

Whereas Outlook sends the file as text, and it looks like this:

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com>

   Encrypted text is here.

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
