yes - someone ought to tell the creators or outlook about RFC2015..

RFC2015.  nuff said.

but as for handling the traditionl pgp" messages -
have you checked out the command "check-traditional-pgp"
and the variable "pgp_create_traditional" yet?

> User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.22.1i

this version was announced on
2001-08-30 - almost a year ago.

in the meantime Thomas Roessler added
the "pgp_create_traditional" command.
so i think you should upgrade.  ;-)

Sven  [it's time for M$ software to follow RFCs!]

=== from the mutt-1.4/ChangeLog :

* commands.c, ...
  OK, I'm giving up: pgp_create_traditional now creates text/plain;
  x-mutt-action={pgp-encrypt,pgp-sign}.

Tue Feb 13 23:42:29 2001  Thomas Roessler  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* commands.c, ...
  Add a function check-traditional-pgp which can be used to
  handle old-style PGP messages and/or parts more easily.
