Yes, they seem to be different implementantions: http://pthree.org/2011/09/17/pgpmime-versus-smime/ >> Dude, use whatever you like most, if someone complaints that's up to >> them (unless there's some hidden rule/policy for this I'm not aware of) >> ;-) > > I am getting the picture that there is some kind of hidden policy, which > should be put to list code of conduct or elsewhere. A hidden policy (should there's any) is by definition "not applicable" so don't worry about it and use what GPG/PGP inline/attached file you estimate better for you. >> Anyway, openssl's smime should be able to verify the signature.

Well, that was my *personal* opinion, you don't have to do what every person says, follow your own way :-) > It's nicer way than telling to filter all emails from one > sender / threading / telling what should be done in their opinions and > then ignoring all problems in that way. Well, discarding posts just because of inline PGP/GPG signatures is a bit radical. As I said, it's annoying but nothing more. > I hope that someone can still answer this question. > > PS. Sorry again for typoing PGP/MIME as S/MIME. You said PGP/MIME, I got S/MIME O:-) Look at "man gpg", there must be also an option here for verifiying the signature.
