Yes... to be more precise: Eudora can read signed messages, but (in my
experience) it can neither verify signed PGP/MIME messages, nor decrypt
encrypted PGP/MIME messages.

Yeah. I just took that out of my own config so I can test this a
little more -- I've just been studying Eudora the last couple of days.
ME gave some sample macros for circumventing this issue when he posted
his edit-type patch, I think; these should work in absence of
procmail.

I'm not familiar with pgp_create_traditional -- I haven't been paying
attention to this area of development, since it all works OK for me so
far. :)

Yes: I was referring to macros for filtering components through
PGP/GPG. You posted one of them. (Ah, no substitute for personal
archives. Web archives can all * * *!)
Here are examples with citations, altered a bit to be more readable. A
lot of you have these already, but maybe this makes a useful summary
for the FAQ or something. I think these will work, but I haven't
tested them all since rewriting them. Check primary sources if in
doubt.
I'm not sure which of these would work best with Eudora, and my
"Eudora-empowered" PC is not at hand.
The usual disclaimers: I don't mean to suggest that there aren't better
sources for this stuff; this is just what I found. No resposibility if
this stuff crashes your mailer, erases your mail, drowns your fish,
etc. Everything I say is a lie.

component (typically the only component in a us-ascii, text/plain
message), using PGP 2 or NAI's PGP 6. [1]

D. T-G: "There is a patch out there, I believe, which will let you
insert %r at RECIPIENT, but I forget what it is :-)" dgc: I'm not
sure how this applies, myself, since there's no context in which to
select a recipient. Seems you'd need pgpe to ask you, but I've
never used it, so I'll leave it alone.
+ Composition filter for application/pgp signing using GnuPG. [4]
