OK. I use Engimail with Icedove/Thunderbird, and it warned me that some mail clients don't properly handle PGP/MIME, but that all clients should handle inline PGP. I wasn't sure how many clients out there didn't accept the MIME version, so I went with inline to be safe. I do have one question about the MIME version, though. I've seen mailing lists that add a footer to each message (in the form of a signature). With inline PGP, this footer gets appended after the signature block, and everything is wonderful. Would MIME work properly with that, since it doesn't seem to explicitly define the start and end of the signed message? -- Anthony Mapes
