I had the following Header in Christian's original e-mail:
X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit
by sigma.informatik.hu-berlin.de id g0C00ft29166
And I was able to verify his mail perfectly.
Hence my fear of broken signatures. Clear-signing should work if the
mail is properly converted in both directions during the process, but as
Paul has showed, it might break at some point because of a broken MTA
and/or broken setup.
I still think this is better than the original behavior, and it could
also be taken care of by having mutt convert the message to 8bit before
feeding it to gpupg.
BTW, I tested the patch with Outlook today and it works as supposed.
One thing though: Somewhere the following header is created:
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="msg.pgp"
This causes Outlook to show an attachment where there obviously is
none. Could this be safely ommited?
Cheers,
Viktor
