If you are going to answer questions on a public forum, please try
to be more accurate than emotional. This is entirely incorrect in
every respect.

Like most windows MUAs The Bat! does not implement PGP/MIME in any
of the supported PGP/GnuPG profiles. That's what you're actually
talking about. This does not answer the original question.

The Bat!'s GnuPG support is just about as good its PGP support in
general other than that it does not have a key manager nor access to
GnuPG preferences. For encryption, decryption, signing and
verification processes, it works perfectly well for non-PGP/MIME
encoded/signed messages. To configure GnuPG and access a key manager
you will need to install one of the graphic front ends, like
GPGShell (which I use) or WinPT.

PGP/MIME is not implemented compliantly in all cases and until it
becomes more consistent many MUA writers (TB included) are avoiding
support for it.
