-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Eudora Pro (I don't know about lite...) works well with the PGP/MIME
messages, the only problem (In my opinion) is that the message shows up as
an icon attachment and you have to click it to read it. PGP does
automatically check the signer for authenticity when you click it, so maybe
that's the reason. I'd rather have the program list the message and allow
me to check for authenticity manually if I want to.
Then again, maybe it's necessary to manually open encrypted messages in
this way (so you can enter your passphrase), and that's why you have to do
the same thing for signed messages.
You also have the option of just including the PGP generated text in the
body of the message, like this one, that way if the message is just signed,
the message is cleartext.
