Re: GNUPG for (ugh) Outlook Express

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

The issue is not how I send my email. Claws-mail has a number of 
different options including inline. The issue is how Outlook mishandles 
it.  I can always turn my digital signature off when I send email to 
him. 

BTW: I don't know if it was Tom, but the new Eudora is based on 
Thunderbird and does support Linux.
