[sylpheed:21864] Messages listed as attachment?

Recently, since including my GPG sig with my emails ergularly, I've
received a few complaints from people who are having trouble with
reading my messages, on the grounds that the body of the message itself
is a text/plain attachment.  Are there any workarounds, or is this legal
according to the RFCs?

The only instance(s) I'm aware of where this happens is where people are
using Outlook (Express), which doesn't follow the RFCs. The *real*
solution is for them to get a new e-mail program that knows how to read
e-mails without executing viruses. :-)

Unfortunately, the only alternative is to use clear text signing, which
can cause complaints because of the "ugly" block of text that gets
included at the end of the e-mail.

HTH,

The parameter was very trivial - but the gpgme RPM I once installed
didn't include the /usr/bin/gpgme-config file. But after compiling the
latest version everything went well :D

Not to mention its non-compliance with RFC3156...

Outlook Express really is a boil on the butt of the Internet. Unfortunately
for those who strive to do things in an RFC-compliant way, so many people
use it.

extracts of RFC 2046 :

<<
   (1)   multipart -- data consisting of multiple entities of
          independent data types.  Four subtypes are initially
          defined, including the basic "mixed" subtype specifying
          a generic mixed set of parts, "alternative" for
          representing the same data in multiple formats,
          "parallel" for parts intended to be viewed
          simultaneously, and "digest" for multipart entities in
          which each part has a default type of "message/rfc822".
>>

<<
   All present and future subtypes of the "multipart" type must use an
   identical syntax.  Subtypes may differ in their semantics, and may
   impose additional restrictions on syntax, but must conform to the
   required syntax for the "multipart" type.  This requirement ensures
   that all conformant user agents will at least be able to recognize
   and separate the parts of any multipart entity, even those of an
   unrecognized subtype.

This then would be a problem with Outlook users?  Interesting....

Absolutely. Well, nearly. It's a problem with Outlook, not the users.

Don't tell me you're surprised! :)

Actually, I would say it is a problem with the users - they're not smart
enough to pick a better e-mail program. (And I have family that uses
Outlook! :-)
