-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It would appear that on Aug 13, Alexander Dalloz did say "To" Rodrigo M.Affonso: > And choose a proper working, standards following mail client and you'll > have no problems with my list mails. If you are addicted to Windows[tm] > on your client side then check for Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird or Sylpheed > for example. Mostly I would agree with you Alexander, But I do think however that part of why not so "proper" mail clients have such problems also stems from your choosing to use a detached "digital signierter" My chosen mail-client "Pine" (which I think is still a "proper" mail client) does display your message text that does none the less arrive as an attachment. Note this was copied from pines attachment data for: "Message-ID: <1092418784.12513.115.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>" - -> Parts/Attachments: - -> 1.1 Shown ~31 lines Text - -> 1.2 196 bytes Application, "Dies ist ein digital signierter Nach - -> 2 Shown 4 lines Text However, even though pine is fairly mail standards compliant, if I try to reply to a message with a detached sig such as yours, this is what I get: => PINE 4.60 COMPOSE MESSAGE REPLY [H] <Incoming-Folders> fedora-now 330 Msgs => => From : "Joe(theWordy)Philbrook" <jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx> => Newsgrps: gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general => Attchmnt: 1.

Don't get me wrong Alexander, I think proper mail clients should know how to work with detached sigs, but even though I wrapped my copy of pine with: ez-pine-gpg v0.4c ## http://Business-PHP.com/opensource/ez-pine-gpg/ And can automatically verify embedded pgp sigs, I can't verify the ones that like you, choose to use the detached sig... (Unless perhaps if I saved both the text and the detached sig attachments separately to files, perhaps then the gpg command line syntax for detached sigs would work!?!) I just think that when you told the OP to get a better mail-client you could have explained just what it was about your message that the OP needed a better mail client for...
