% Hello mutt-users,

Hi!


% 
% when I sign or encrypt messages, people complain about an incorrect

What mail problems (er, programs -- what a Freudian slip! :-) are these
people using?


% signature. I noticed this problem when I looked at a mail to a
% mailinglist read via gmane (NNTP).
% 
% The seperator (--) looks like: --=20. 

All other things being equal, that =20 is MIME's way of representing a
space (and =3D is an equal sign and =40 *might* be an @ and ...).

How are you signing your mails (this one was MIME rather than in
outhouse-style compat mode)?  Do these users have MIME-aware mail
readers?  If you put a space at the end of the line or an equal anywhere
in a line do they show up, when the message is read, as the escape codes
or the proper chars?


% 
% How can I get rid of this?

I don't know that you need to.  gpg couldn't find a key for you before I
gave up but the message decodes correctly so that your sig separator is
displayed as "dash dash space".  From what [little] I see here, mutt is
doing a fine job and needs no fixing.
