Priority: Normal
Version: 1.0.2
Synopsis: Evolution & GPG
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
I'm using Evolution with the GPG support to sign most
of my emails. Signing works fine if you don't need a
clearsigned message like I do.

Unfortunately you can only select the binary and not
give any options to it so I had to put the option "clearsign"
into ~/.gnupg/options. I can now clearsign messages :-)

Unfortunately I can not verify signatures any more as gpg
is now always startet with --clearsign which conflits with
the verify options.

To put it in a nutshell: You should give the user an option
to sign clear (--clearsign) or the user should be able to
give options to gpg dynamically.

Best regards,
Steve

uh, forcing a --clearsign is not sending out correct PGP/MIME messages
anymore which means people aren't going to be able to verify them.
