Thank you! Exactly the answer I was looking for. (We've all been amateurs at some point, I guess). Someone told me that the signature is attached as a separate file, and that they can't open it nor view it. I guess I was expecting my letters to look like they do in the terminal when using --clearsign. When I receive letters, the always starts with a Hash: SHA -heading. I guess I just thought that my letters would look like that too. Thank you for your patients. By learning I too can help other in the future while promoting Evolution.
