Hello,
after looking into DKIM details, I started searching, why the same procedure cannot be used for gpg?
With gpg a lot of people from get confused, when they receive signed mails either because of the
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- strings, or because the unknown attachments in MIME message.When now looking to DKIM, this looks much more advanced. There is a Header in the mail, containing the signature all details to the signature and information about header items included in the signature:
DKIM-Signature: v=1;
a=ed25519-sha256; q=dns/txt; c=relaxed/relaxed;
d=domain.top; s=key123; h=Content-Transfer-Encoding:Content-Type:MIME-Version:
Subject:To:Message-ID:From:Date;
bh=GXC7VV/p5oCw1rk9iGc/6RziLwTkT4pwkoJLPQAV5Aw=; b=OtHgC7JByI7ZVzkZWKT6OUJfGl

Is somethings similar available for GPG/PGP?
Currently I found nothing, but I expect that this could help for much better acceptance for signed mails. Receivers, who don't know anything about gpg getting not confused, as the
Header is totally invisible.
With such an implementation I would start again sending all my mails automatically signed, as I have not longer to answer questions about my weird looking mails.
If someone could provide me with information, if such header implementations are already somewhere discussed, I would be glad.
