Hi Kevin, Many thanks for your quick reply. What exactly did you send? I assume your sent message was encrypted and appeared as the encrypted attachment 2 on the webmail. But what did you send such that it appeared (unencrypted) as attachment 1? Was it a .txt attachment containing "Version: 1"? If so, it wasn't encrypted ... I was wondering if, for example, a standard .pdf document attached will appear at the recipient encrypted as .pdf.gpg? If so, this would not require oneself to encrypt it manually (although I agree that this is safer) Cheers, Marius > The webmail showed the unencrypted subject, so I assume all > > headers are unencrypted.
