ELM ME+ plus does not support RFC 2015 (execpt that there is limited (or incomplete) support on reading cide.) application/pgp comes from time when Elm 2.4ME+ was Michael Elkins' Elm2.4 PL24 MExx. ANNOUNCE.ME (which is announce of Elm2.4 PL24 MExx) seems say: <...> | ELM 2.4 PL24 ME8 | | This is an announcement for Patchlevel ME8 for Elm 2.4pl24. <...> | What's new: <...> | * Support for application/pgp type inside multipart/mixed and message/rfc822 | messages Either ANNOUNCE.ME or ChangeLog.ME gies not hint why it is application/pgp or when where it comes to here. Comment on source just says: /* This procedure implements the de-facto standard for using PGP with MIME. * Content-Type: application/pgp * Required-Parameters: none * Optional parameters: format, x-action * format = mime | text | keys-only * mime : indicates that the signed/encrypted body contains a MIME * compliant body and should be parsed recursively. * text : [DEFAULT if there is no format option]. This option * means that the encrypted/signed data should be presented * to the user after processing, no additional processing * needed. * keys-only: * The data in the body represents public key data only * x-action = encryptsign | encrypt | sign * This keyword is meant to be helpful to the application, but is * not required, and may not even be necessary to look at. * * encryptsign : the application/pgp data is both signed and * encrypted. * encrypt : the data is encrypted only * sign : the data is signed only */ > the following message has been created using elm 2.4ME+PL77 which is a > popular UNIX mail reader/composer. > it may be reached at . > the maintainer seems to be . > I'll contact him right now. elm 2.4ME+ popular UNIX mail reader/composer ?
