Hi! When I recently read about problems with verifying the PGP signature of DSAs, I realized that for most DSAs mutt does not automatically check the signature.
Comparing the DSAs and reading how mutt recognizes a PGP signed message, I found that only some DSAs from Martin Schulze have a Content-Type as mutt wants it: Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=sign Newer ones from him and all others have this: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Mutt *can* varify these, but only when told with (default) ESC P. And this does not change the message, mutt will loose the info when it leaves the mailbox. I'm wondering if there is a *technical* reason for not using application/pgp in DSAs. If there isn't, I would like to ask the security group to use that in order to make MUAs like mutt verify their signatures automatically. Yes, I know about the procmail hack. And I will set it up now. But for the sake of people like me before I started to investigate this, I still wanted to ask this question.
