For me, that's a solid step in the good direction. The benefit to
users will be great, as some widely used mailers happen to create such
messages. Messages today unreadable with straight Mutt.
However, if we agree on the consensus that this direction is the
good one, then why not do some more, or even all, of the required steps?
I personally don't doubt much that this is the right direction. The
only glitch is that our local crypto guru, supposed to be the reference
authority for us all on these matters, is ahum... not completely
enthusiastic. The reasons Thomas gave didn't convince me, though.
Bye! Alain.
