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. :) Greg
