When I opened Thunderbird today I received a message about the use of PGP-MIME as the new "default setting". The "old" recommednation was that inline PGP (at least for signed messages, though not nescesarily for messages which are encrypted) was more compatable.
With an inline PGP message I see that the message is sent with a pretty standard text based message. The problem that I see is that with inline MIME, there is an increased risk of not being able to verify signatures which *should* be valid, or the rendering of the email to be impossible to decrypt. I wonder: 1) what has changed to make it preferable to use MIME messages to inline messages, 2) how we change back to inline if we so desire (I have looked multiple places so far), 3) if this has been tested against all the "major" email providers and whether there is an increased, decreased, or the same risk of the message not being readable, or lost.
