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.)
