I would imagine that we would add some encoding handlers for MIME encryption that would force mml to encode using qp, no matter what. There's no such thing in there yet, but I don't think it would be difficult to add stuff like that. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
