begin  quoting what Thomas Roessler said on Tue, Apr 02, 2002 at 05:59:32PM +0200:
 OpenPGP specifies application/pgp, but that breaks some MUAs that 
 don't follow the OpenPGP RFC.
 
 Where does the OpenPGP RFC specify that?

Sorry, I mispoke; it was another standard that specified that, and it
has since been withdrawn, so I don't care enough to find out what it
was.  :-)

Yay.  That's always nice.

I was unaware that it was broken.  Can you (or someone) tell us whether
this functionality is in 1.3.28?

Indeed; I'm quite interested myself.

Only with a patch.  Although I'm using a patch that causes the same
behavior, IMHO, core Mutt shouldn't.  It should be configurable whether
you'll use application/pgp or not, because there's an RFC in question
here.  OpenPGP specifies application/pgp, but that breaks some MUAs that
don't follow the OpenPGP RFC.

The usual workaround is text/plain, but that needs to be user-configurable
so that people who WANT to use OpenPGP (I don't, I either use text/plain
or PGP/MIME) can.

As I said, one of the patches for that just makes it text/plain always,
and another makes it configurable.  I'm using the former by choice.

Ahhh...  I thought that it had been integrated in .28 but was confused by
the announcement.

I think I'm up on patches, both Shane's and Dale's, so I'm covered.
Thanks for the info!
