This is not the first time I have heard this, but it is from the most
credible source.  I send gpg signed email to a friend and Outlook told
him that it was deleting the email because it had a dangerous
attachment.  Can anyone verify that Outlook, with the latest updates,
does or does not do this?

Outlook has been blocking "dangerous" attachments for many months now; it's
the Outlook Email Security Patch. It's deleting the email since Outlook is
broken in regard to PGP/GPG (attachment) signatures; it turns the *body*
into an attachment, so they get a blank email with 2 attachments, instead of
a body with 1 attachment. And so when it deletes unsafe attachments, there's
nothing left of the message.

Check <http://www.slipstick.com> for methods of getting around the patch.
I checked this site.  Does it have a solution for the end user or for
those of us using Evolution?
