From: "Geo." 

BTW Rich, if you know about signed email perhaps you can help with
something that is really annoying.

From the security lists I get a lot of signed email like this:

------------------
Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1;
protocol="application/pgp-signature";
boundary="=-mEk/LSzMtMir/IB5YeP4" Mime-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution 1.4.5 (1.4.5-7)

--=-mEk/LSzMtMir/IB5YeP4
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

body text here

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux)

iD8DBQBAcIGrAydojtrG7OYRAmMnAJ0dAGWDsgbWzsuW8K9cGAwyLOadXwCfZGbx
B2GswOgGa2QBnwfkWSS/1Ms=
=1GDj
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

--=-mEk/LSzMtMir/IB5YeP4--

--------------

And what happens is the actual content of the email appears as an
attachment. In the case of the above one its 2 attachments, ATT00077.txt
and Signature.asc so I have to open the email then open the text attachment
to read it. This with outlook express 6.00.2800.1123

There are a bunch that like to post like this because they know it's a pain
in the ass for OE users to read their posts. Got any suggestions on how to
make OE just display the stupid things instead of showing them as
attachments to a bodyless email?
