whatever anyone tells you here, most people who don't use mutt or
evolution (ie a large percentage of people who use PGP) don't use
PGP/MIME.

PGP/MIME is a "standard", but it's not "standard", if that makes sense.
there are constant debates on this, so i'm going to shut my mouth right
now.  personally, the only time i use PGP/MIME is if i know that someone
is able to deal with it or prefers that style.

taking the attitude of "i'm right and the rest of the world is wrong"
only gets you so far... at least when you're already way outnumbered.

i've said it before, and i'll say it again... the purpose of email (as
far as i'm concerned) is first and foremost to *communicate* with other
people.  very few people that i'm interested in communicating with use
mutt (no offense intended to anyone here).
