Good timing -- I just commited a change to switch the default back for pgpmime, and added a function for people who want to switch this setting in their local configuration. There is another good thing which happened due to these changes: Before, the encrypt call was *always* calling gpg-sign-encrypt, so if you signed & encrypted a message you would get a signed part enclosed inside a signed & encrypted part. Now at least the outside part is encrypted only. ;) Of course, I've only made the changes for pgpmime so far. Vanilla PGP and S/MIME haven't been done yet, but at least pgpmime is doing the right thing now. ttyl, -- Josh Huber
