=46rom the sound of this, you seem to have removed the Debian package. If
you like, you can install
dists/unstable/non-US/main/binary-i386/gnupg_1.0.0-1.deb (from any mirror
carrying the non-us archive.)

Having both exmh 1:2.0.2-7 and gnupg 1.0.0-1 packages installed,
I grepped for both gpg and gnupg in /etc/mailcap, but found none.
(Nor pgp.)  I also read through the preinst postinst prerm and postrm
scripts for both packages and saw nothing relevant to mailcap.

Are you sure it was a mailcap-based solution initially?  Neither of the
current (potato) packages seem to support that notion, but your versions
may differ from mine.

If you receive a good mailcap entry off-list, I would be interested as well.

The button implies it was exmh-specific.  Did you upgrade the exmh
package around the time the feature stopped?  (Perhaps exmh does check
for an appropriate mailcap entry, I am not familiar with the source.)
