In a multipart message you should use > pgp/mime. Yes, in an ideal world that would be the way it's done. I usually send out messages in that format; but sadly, there are lots of people who send messages to _me_ who use the "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----" magic string within text/plain or application/octet-stream attachments. The chances of my getting each of these people to change their software and resubmit each individual encrypted message of theirs to me in a timely fashion is next to nil. If there was a hook function that gets called for each message part (and which allows me to set the display and buttonizing status for each part), I could then write my own, personal code to handle this case, and at the same time avoid polluting the Gnus code base with this anachronism. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
