For some reason, when I send an encrypted mail, some of the components
involved (the sending Thunderbird, Enigmail, GPG or OS (Windows), or the
receiving Thunderbird, Enigmail, GPG, or OS (Windows again)) have
inserted excess newlines.
{snip}when you write an email you have 2 choices for formatting: plain text,-- or HTML. Today HTML is the preferred standard. However, in order to use PGP or GnuPG with HTML formatted messages you also need to use a container. with ENIGMAIL this will be PGP/MIME. If you send straight text -- then all you can do is ASCII text. The result of this is: you need to know what capability your correspondent has: text only -- or can he or she handle PGP/MIME and HTML ? Thunderbird can go either way -- and you can even attach PGP rules in your address book entries. the problem description you are giving may be related to the difference in msft v Linux computers: msft uses CR LF at the end of each line while Linux used just a LF character. A Mac I think used just a CR. A vestage left over from paper tape. My guess is that you are having trouble in this area some how. The software should be using read,translate and write,translate mode so as to suppress this issue. alas, nothing's perfect. In HTML formatted messages the CR and LF characters are not used for formatting -- HTML tags are used. The thing to do is to try a few messages -- both as plain text and also as HTML -- without using PGP. See if these both work properly. Then you would add PGP. But I generally alays use PGP/MIME if either a PGP signature will be used or both encryption and signature. -- /Mike
