email with gpg signature always sent as attachment
Last modified: 2002-11-06 19:52:11 UTC
Description of Problem: On Mandrake 8.2 with Ximian, the latest Evolution 1.2RC1 (and the Beta before it) sends all email signed with gpg as an attachment. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. send a new email or reply to a previous email while signing with gpg will result in many email programs receiving the text email as an attachment. Actual Results: Many people (especially in the windows world) will receive the message as an attachment. Because of the paranoia associated with receiving attachments, they will not bother to read the email. In some cases they will reply back that I sent an empty email (not understanding that the email text is an attachment) Expected Results: The text would be read by the email program without having to open an attachment How often does this happen? almost always with wondows users (I would guess it is an outlook or outlook express issue, except that I have other Linux based email programs that do not have this problem, including previous versions of Evolution.
