Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before, I searched the archives and found
no references to the same thing.

I'm looking into setting up PGP signing and encryption. Especially the
signing is a difficult issue. The two options I have bother me:

* Inline PGP attaches random cruft (to laymen) to the text messages and
this may actually make them distrust my messages instead of trusting them
* PGP/Mime adds an attachment that is visible to people that do not have
PGP support, with the same thing: people distrust unknown attachments.

I recently set up my mailserver to use DKIM signing and I think the
solution for embedding the DKIM signature is really elegant: adding a
DKIM-Signature header. Since mail clients that do not understand this
header just ignore it, it is basically invisible to people inexperienced
with mail and/or DKIM. It is still embedded in the message. I then
started looking for any possibilities to use this and came across
someone who wrote about this same idea:

I really like this solution to the problem. What are the thoughts of the
Enigmail people on this solution?

Thanks,

Egbert van der Wal
