Please update the FAQ! > --dkg, noting the irony of the parent message being sent with > S/MIME, an entirely different standard Also ironic, and one of the main reasons I prefer inline, is the inability of many archiving systems to preserve attachments - including lists.gnupg.org! For example, when one visits the message I quoted above: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2015-February/052456.html This appears at the bottom of the message: A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name: signature.asc Type: application/pgp-signature Size: 948 bytes Desc: not available URL: </pipermail/attachments/20150212/35eeffd7/attachment.sig> (That URL path on lists.gnupg.org is 404, unless I am overlooking some needed munging.) While some sites manage to keep the attachement intact (e.g. gossamer-threads.com), most do not, e.g. http://readlist.com/lists/gnupg.org/gnupg-users/4/24735.html http://markmail.org/message/jajkjbvf7smmjkrr So far all of inline's flaws, it is far better at maintaining message integrity (see also: forwarding and cut-n-paste). - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201502141623 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAlTfvXcACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiwNQCfRjtx6nOonWn8eQ7ov2w9/ISI tKUAn1+cb8Z0guCXJbjiiuVvSOz2dsD2 =MauL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
