Hi David,

Great list, thanks.

Hmmm. OpenPGP means PGP/MIME, ASCII means Clearsigned, I assume. I'd
change the terminology, as clearsigned is specified in the OpenPGP RFC
iirc.

I don't know about other mailers, but I think the list should include
notes if some mailer has issues. Specifically:

 - evolution doesn't properly handle clearsigned messages - 80% of the
time the signature doesn't verify, and sometimes the message is not
recognized as a signature. The deveolpers do *not* intend to fix this
(at least that's when I last looked on the evo mailing list).
 - in 1.0.x versions, signed messages with attachments very often do not
verify and/or the generated signatures are corrupt. Haven't tried the
1.1.x versions.

cheers
