[tlug] and, back to gpg



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Folks might remember when Jonathan brought up signing mails, and we all
got each other's keys and such.

At the time, we noted that signing with mutt would show up as an
attachment with MS clients.  There was a patch for mutt, which I tried,
and that caused various issues with non-broken clients.  (I don't really
remember the details, I fear).

At any rate, came across this one, which might be useful, though (sigh)
most folks probably know it already.
With mutt, when you hit p to choose signature method, there is an i
option for inline.  Then the signature will show up in the body of the
message.  I'll do it here as an example.

One interesting thing--if someone is using pgp (as opposed to gpg) with
Outlook (and possibly Outlook Express) they may simply receive a blank
email if they've added you to their keys, and vice versa--that is, you
will receive blank emails from them.

The fix seems to be for the MS user to upgrade to the latest version of
pgp. 

Well, hope this is useful to someone--I can now sign emails to my users
though none of them would even notice or doubt an unsigned email.

Willow: I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's
still such a thing as a napkin.
