Do you write plaintext mails, or do you use the HTML composer (the latter has an additional toolbar for choosing font, bold etc)? If you use the HTML composer, I'd strongly suggest that you either switch to PGP/MIME or to the plain text composer. Enigmail does behave ideally with inline-PGP and HTML mails. - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU4iQRAAoJENsRh7ndX2k7EJkP/igEqo27mu+bdygUKaJPbQJT o+GVahfJNMbxf/8CLfewHbgTg6nId1d3uBod0tDJUlfDljj0yE4ZTzWnB+3hwSBx GDo5Jn7zdKTbfIOypMpdjSxO7G61HH5YwhPWGwgopCrWTEByfqnY3Ccf//AR0OVT 4Fvg23KNOGklt9r+ZhQy8N7IwguQ7T5qBNv+jNNFw+8jzPVtE31U9HT+qWiOZRJX fWaAT5nZHxF5NVXOJz0ZYL1OxTOQkIRN+e3BkOzT59JXj1qnsPXjBG3fE3oMqxWo OhPbnRK8aYzoLByd4M8tS6naxk6agl/5x5dq3mwZ6e2NXlQG8Xu2srujFVWjj+Km E4gZJwqcqFFqn7VCmAru1ECpeRRxm3DWuCbWHUA00iVlEm/6MwE4mk38UmtSBKf1 +Z+OmT2oqFh/OIao0iCsooMu2J0JYq84NfpVoyT1Dz2j1w9mQoC5oHAAnK6hl3EW JlKxcezm9UHgsiS/n1Kv6t/kgvg/bP2I75sKcirVieikqvvDUYjTvElj4k9ECY1n yuOvdWX3dopiP4GWia8FTNB+wY8UQnpYdBnteD2l+daIWdDyHFoV8k+0qtfe3GM6 jcDVABeG7jKtHKbfOfagVnk/Hyn/5ndwxLWKiGhrM0ef+9Nv+Yi+9XP32MBJKwY/ B//n/ZS1dwtY/K7gqk9Y =GQSm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
