But is it worth implementing? RFC 2015 seems to provide equivalent
functionality, it's an actual RFC, and (this is the important one)
it's already implemented in my favorite client :-) . Are there
plans to update mutt and elm to support RFC 2015? Do any other
major email clients use application/pgp? If mutt and elm are the
only throwbacks, I'd much rather help update them than backdate
Evolution.
Thanks again,
