Correction. :-) The goal of Evolution is to be interoperable as much as possible with other applications. Most of the time, interoperable == compliant to specific IETF standards. But in those cases when the written standards are not sufficient (eg. because most real-world apps break them, or, like in this case, use different standards) then it's advisable to go beyond the standards. There are other areas in Evolution where standards-compliance had to be tweaked to be able to talk to other apps at all (IMIP meeting scheduling comes to mind). The lack of inline PGP support in Evolution is a missing feature. It would make total sense to have it, and I encourage everyone who can to come up with an implementation. Jeff's anti-inline-PGP attitude is not to be interpreted as the official position of Ximian on the matter. :-) (Although it's true that, *unfortunately*, we don't have any near-term plans for this right now, due to other constraints.) -- Ettore Perazzoli <ettore ximian com>
