I always get a chuckle every time I read someone writing that inline signing is
somehow "deprecated." Strangely enough, the only place I can find the
origination of such an idea is in the PGP/MIME RFC 3156 itself which strikes me
as somewhat self-serving. Deprecation is not mentioned in the OpenPGP standard
RFC 4880.
I use PGP/MIME when I know a mailing list supports it and inline when I know it
doesn't. I use PGP/MIME if I know the recipient's MUA supports it, inline
otherwise.
On the Netiquette part of this thread, I too set a Reply-To header that seems at
least one person regularly ignores. Please don't CC me on list replies. One copy
is enough.
