Ok, then Evolution should not be the problem. I am running Evolution
from FC1 too, no enhancements, just GPG signing activated.

That could explain all. My brother gave me the feedback once too. They
have Exchange as their central mail server at office. This crap of
server has a fair amount of bad behaviours and disregards standards. I
think he said he got my GPG signed mail as an attachment with the name
"SMIME.txt". Doesn't this say all? S/MIME is a total different signing
method than GPG/PGP and if the server can not distinguish those it is
clear what happens ...

Right, I asked and did request for controversy feedback. Of course it
would be better if no one would have problems with GPG signing.
