(I understand that some plain text versions are useless in that they just say "use html".) Even if I switch to the plain text version, replying uses the HTML version. Or rather the default display version is always used, not what is currently being displayed. How about instead of just a "Lose formatting" button you have two buttons "Convert HTML" and "Use Plain Text version" (with the latter greyed our if no version present).

I'm afraid it's too late, the message is gone at the time of the format question. The question is shown also when switching the mode in the composer, not only on open of it.

Without doing the diagnostics, I do know that other signed messages are handled properly, almost always with the warning that the key isn't known. Two issues arising:: 1. Does Evolution have any tools or support for downloading public keys etc? I've used such a capability in other email clients. Do I need to learn how to use gpg directly at the command line? 2. How can I get a later version of the binary for Evolution? My Debian-based distro (LMDE) offers only 3.30.5-1.1.

Hi, the Evolution doesn't have any such option, but it also doesn't block the key auto-retrieve, unless the application is in the offline mode. Thus when you've configured gpg to download keys from some server and you are online, gpg can download it. > 2. How can I get a later version of the binary for Evolution? My > Debian-based distro (LMDE) offers only 3.30.5-1.1. That's the question for your distribution. Maybe you can get it as a Flatpak, the version from Flathub.org is fine.

I installed gpg2 and gpg-agent and a) key import started working, and b) the troublesome messages are now all rendered properly in Evolution.
