Sorry, I already have deleted the first part of this thread, thus stepping in late. Yes, I personally agree that PGP/MIME messages (which don't have any attachments beside the PGP stuff) should not show the paper-clip image noting the user about an attachment. Same for S/MIME. However, I just checked my PGP/MIME signed mail: The actually do *not* show the paper-clip. :) That was in non mailing list folders, like my Inbox. The PGP/MIME signed mails in some mailing list folders *do* have this paper-clip icon. Seems, this is related to the foot notes most mailing lists append to every mail. These added text does not show as attachment on unsigned messages, but they do so on signed messages. Seems, the confusing attachment notification is due to the mailing list footer on signed messages. Basically, this feels like a bug in the list servers... :-/ Greg, if you wanna file a bug about this, please mention the number. Mailer hackers: Are my above notes correct? Anything Evolution can do about this to be smarter than the list servers? Probably not. But I am sure, Greg and I can come up with a couple of real life examples. ...guenther
