Re: Another GnuPG Problem
Hello Todd.
It looks that ESC-P has solved the problm when it comes to the decoding
of the mail in mutt.
Is there anything my freind could do in order to modify his format to
standarad notation? I have sent his header to this newsgroup in one of
my former emails.
Thanks for Your help.
