This message is an example. > But I think it has to be supported by the mail client. It has. And there's a big difference between S/MIME signed and PGP/MIME signed messages: ,-----= [ S/MIME ] =----- | Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/pkcs7-signature"; | micalg=sha1; boundary="----------EA1CAB733401F57" `-----= ,-----= [ PGP/MIME ] =----- | Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; | micalg="pgp-sha1"; boundary="=.SIbCX1.4Pt(gu+" `-----= The Bat! signs the mails in message list according to "application/pkcs7-signature", it does not even verify the signature for doing so. "application/pgp-signature" is (yet, I hope) unknown to The Bat! and therefore shown as "real attachment" and not treated as signing in any way :-/ -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v1.62 Beta/17 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1) The woman is man's best friend! ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
