I get the same complaints from people who read my e-mails in Outlook, because I always GPG sign them. I'm worried this may cause people to delete my e-mails without reading them in fear of it being a virus.
My suggestion would be to implement straight-text signing of e-mails, as well as the MIME technique (I can see Jeff shuddering). I know signing an e-mail via MIME is the best solution for modern mail clients that know what a PGP/GPG signature is. However, Outlook is quite a widely used client, and having e-mails not read is a bit of a time waster. I have to admit, I'm quite torn on this issue. It's Outlook's fault, blatantly. But considering the market share, maybe Evo should accomodate. On Mon, 2001-11-26 at 17:45, Jim Scadden wrote: > I have had the same problem as well.
