Yup you hit it in one! Sending a signed but plaintext email from Evo to TB gives a good signature verification in TB - HTML mail gives a problem! Yet I can send a signed HTML email from Evo to Evo and it verifies just fine - I find this weird! Where is the root cause of this? Is it something in the sending process in Evo, or in the receiving end at TB? By the way what I did for the test was to reply to an HTML mail and then in Evo compose window change from HTML to Plain Text - the only security option that I can see in the compose window is to select Security->PGP Sign - there was no attachment in this case and the quoted text was inline - if that is what you were asking? I would like to get to the bottom of this..... -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
