As discussed elsewhere in this (sorry, Ms. Oncay) thread, the problem is due to the footer not being packaged in a multipart section. If you can edit such a message to add another section (just copy one of the boundary lines and a blank line or two above the footer, and move the terminating boundary line to below the footer), then compliant MUAs should show it. That said, my mutt viewer doesn't show it, even if well-formed, when the message is in HTML and a "helper" program is used to translate that to text. I haven't waded in to see why that is; maybe if/when the situation changes it might be worth checking into. One situation where "the" footer apparently does appear along with PGP is where a message is forwarded including those bits. In that case the boundary string delimiting the sections isn't the one applicable to the current message, and the actual footer is still there, hidden. -- Ken Irving -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
