Agreed.

Yes. Someone else on the debian mailing list has posted a .procmailrc
that will convert all the incoming messages with mime encrypted pgp signatures.
But, what about outgoing messages? If I pgp sign a mail to a friend who is using
pine as his MUA. When he views the attachment, pine will complain it is an unknown
attachment and will ask user whether or not to save it in a file. I guess people
can configure pine to use /etc/mailcap to overcome this. But it does generate
some incompatiblities. I believe the situation is worse in the windoze world.
While pushing hard this great feature to a MUA standard, how about we also make
a patch available to make those people who want to move to mutt but dislike this
feature happy??
Thanks.
Shao.
