True, it is like that at the moment... you see we sign all messages
by default, then encrypt the ones that request encryption after
that... I am looking at improving on that soon.

Actually, no Patrick... perhaps other people don't check? I
personally think it is an issue of the mail clients you are using, or
perhaps the plugin.

Try this, copy the encrypted message to the clipboard and then
decrypt the message there using the PGP tray utility to decrypt the
clipboard... after the first decryption, you will see the signed
message... click "copy to clipboard" then use the tray utility on
that again to verify the sig...

If this all works fine then you need to see why your e-mail client is
corrupting the message... e-mail clients are nasty these days, they
add all sorts of formatting to the text to make it nicer for you to
read, but of course they break the sig.

If you are ever in doubt about a sig, view the source of the e-mail
in a plain text editor (like notepad in windows) and decrypt/verify
that...

Let us know what you find, all e-mail verifies fine on my 4 different
OS's with different software, but I must admit the only client where
the plugin works effectively is in outlook express.

Cheers,

Sidd.
