I simply was (and am still) looking for information regarding how Evolution users deal with Outlook/PGP encryption and signatures and vice versa. Will Evolution 1.6 handle this better?
Maybe this is a problem with open source. It's so flexible that it can adapt to the garbage that others spit at it. Even though it probably shouldn't.
Any idea whether pgp.com has any interest in making their PGP product interoperate with other e-mail clients/PGP clones?
I would think so. Overall your problem seems to be the incompatibility of the two clients methods of sending signatures (inline vs. attached). I don't know how Outlook works but if it can only read inline signatures then the developers need to update their software. FYI Evolution currently only supports attached signatures. I believe there may be work going on to bring back the older inline sig's, but I'm sure there was a good reason why they were replaced with the new method (IMHO that doesn't mean we shouldn't have an easier HCI way to verify an inline signature though!). Check the archives of this list for more info. You can try to verify my message in both clients.
