[NTLUG:Discuss] GPG and Signing

[Chris J Albertson]

I'm using horde/imp as my mailer and I just have it sign everything by default.
I just started signing things after I took the time to learn about PGP/GPG.
Mainly a learning experience.
I'm sorry to hear that evolution does that. :( Is mailman somehow screwing up
the mime encode during the forward maybe? (Just brainstorming.) I thought that
pgp signatures was rfc compiant and didn't cause issues.

 Signing messages can be enabled by default in Mozilla.
 It's sort of like saying why use passwords on every system
 you own? It's easier to just do it and not wonder about
 whether it's ok or not on a case by case basis.
 
 Sounds to me like you're a evolution-loving-whiner :-)
 
 Oh well.  It's called evolution for a reason.
 
 (I'm using Outlook inside of Linux now.. not as I post here
 of course... mainly so I can get the calendar popups at work)
