Yes it was internal and external. I've tested via various ISP's and
different servers and that route appears okay but I know what it was

I find it's all down to which option for PGP I've selected. I was
using the PGP *plugin* option (I have 6.5.8 ckt) and if I
encrypted,signed and have pgp/mime at auto then when I decrypt the
message shows in base64 in the message viewer (depending on the state
of the 8bit option under properties|mail management)

But...switching to the *builtin* option then the result is as you say
it is for you, and as I would want it :))

However, and this is probably the reason why I switched to using the
plugin, the builtin option doesn't cache my passphrase. Technically I
suppose that is the correct thing to do if using PGP properly, but it
is a pain :)) Plus the plugin provided more PGP detail on decrypting.

Thanks for your time in replying.
