There are about 7,3 billion people out there that don't have a clue what OpenPGP is. > I think that until there is a way to verify pgp signatures from > > within gmail, pgp/mime will continue to show up as an attachment. Why should it? At least for non-Gmail users as well as Gmail users not using *webmail*. > There are ways to use pgp/mime or inline pgp with gmail, but nothing > > great.

Not all GMail users use the /webmail/ interface. There are a lot of GMail and other /webmail/ users out there but *we really need to stop letting that drag us down*. Those /webmail/ operators need to get their shit together and start playing by the rules. It's not our job to do theirs for them. And until OpenPGP breaks out even of the single digits coverage I really don't think we should worry about every single use case. Those who care for OpenPGP can very easily just use something other than webmail. I just did a test across accounts sending from Thunderbird + Enigmail. Sure, GMail /webmail/ shows the attachment. In Thunderbird over IMAP the emails are just fine; "Good signature" and no attachments. Now Google just needs to go and get their platform up to speed on PGP/MIME. -- Ville
