Hello all-  On my work machine, I have Evo 1.0.8 installed, on my laptop
1.2.4, and on my desktop 1.4RCsomething.  I've noticed that 1.0.8 can
handle verifying inline GPG signatures, but the 2 newer versions can't. 
Is there a reason that functionality has been removed?  I know that
there has been a lot of requests to allow inline signing, but what about
verifying inline sigs?  It's fairly easy to do and used to work.  Does
anybody know what happened?  I'm quite new to the list, so feel free to
point me to messages in the archive that I may have missed.  I've
thumbed through the list archive and I haven't seen this discussed
recently.  Thanks.

The 1.0 series is REALLY old, so hopefully nobody has been discussing it
"recently".  Anyway, the code that verified inline signatures seemed to
have some pretty serious bugs, so it was removed.  There are details in
bugzilla, though the bugs are probably 'closed' somehow now (so you'll
have to look harder than normal to find them).  If it's really fairly
easy, please, send a patch.  :)
