If I understand what you were saying earlier, email clients (like Kmail) that make the signature a part of the body of the message, rather than a separate attachment, do not understand the signatures that Evolution sends? I just did a personal test to see if the reverse is true as well - that Evolution does not understand a signature if it is included in the body of the message, rather than being a separate attachment. It appears that that is the case, since the message opened in my inbox as you see here, without the indication that it was a signed message. The same happened when I sent myself an encrypted message. It appeared in my inbox encrypted, rather than being transparently decrypted. To verify the signature, or to decrypt the message, I had to copy it and send it to gpg manually.

It concluded that, "for legal gunowners, socialization appears to take place in the family; for illegal gunowners, it appears to take place 'on the street' ". - U.S. Department of Justice -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+FGPoAEWCS/G3bx4RAk8OAJ9eJcRYTSumWRKiqMpwY7bMT0WzIQCdE5ym K/CBCqS/JyrWdStsQ7R515E= =3DMW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
