In my defense, I never said I thought PGP/MIME had no place in the OpenPGP ecosystem. I just said I was reluctant to recommend it as a general-purpose solution, given how dodgy the support for it is in a great number of different venues. I readily concur that we have a pretty sorry state of "standards" nowadays. A standard that's not widely conformed to is not much of a standard. > BTW, we have patches for Mailman to fix the problem in most cases but > they never made it to upstream.

The alternative would be to roll our own, and maybe the time has come for a Mailman replacement. I've long wanted some piece of software that allows for threads to be handled either via email or via web forums: after all, viewing is orthogonal to the content itself. Content can be stored in a back-end, and the front-end can/should be a replaceable component. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
