Subject: mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgp and =2D, =20, =3D, etc.

Message-ID: <878yj9isxk.fsf@rikers.itso.iu.edu> (raw)

Greetings.  It seems that mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgp (at least
when used with PGG and GnuPG) inserts extra characters before
encrypting the message.  It looks like the message is being
MIME-encoded before the signature step.  Since I'm just inserting the
PGP block inline, there should be no reason to MIME-encode it,
especially before encrypting.

See below for an example.  A colleague decrypted this message but was
unable to verify the signature because of the extra characters.

Is there a way to skip the encoding step when encrypting messages
inline?
