Ahhh, Now I'm starting to get the picture. BTW, is it my paranoia setting
going above the acceptable level or do I detect political reasons for Netscape
and MS not being too terribly in a hurry to make their MUAs operate seamlessly
with PGP/MIME?

Some time ago, I received a PGP encrypted message which followed that standard
(I didn't know that at the time). I eventually saved the
"application/octet-stream" part to a file with a ".pgp" extension and opened
it thru PGP. It'd be nice if the relevant MIME part could have a file name and
extension, preferrably ".asc" so it could be immediately opened by the Windows
version of PGP. From what I read in RFC2015 there's no problem with it.

Please people stop me if the conversation gets TOO offtopic.

I have to support the Microsoft world here at the office. Mutt is Unix-only.
Drats. :(
