Apple's OS/X is a variant of Unix, which uses only the linefeed character
to mark the end of each line. Windows uses the return/linefeed pair. I
suspect that the absence of the "return" byte in front of the linefeed is
why you're getting the squares -- but since I don't use PGP I have no idea
why it's treating the message as an attachment.

PGP-encrypted messages received from a contact who uses Apple Mail don't behave as expected

2010-01-06 Thread MFPA
Hi


I sometimes PGP messages from a contact who uses Apple Mail. When I
press the button to decrypt, the decrypted message doen not appear in
an extra tab to the preview pane as expected; instead, a dialog box
pops up offering to save an attachment. This attachment contains the
decrypted text, with the line-endings replaced by squares). If I wish
to reply with quotes, it is necessary to copy/paste from this file
into my reply.

Has anybody experience of this and/or an explanation?

I'm not the only one, as I found a bug report at
