Several folks are having difficulty posting to some OASIS mailing lists.
We're all using gnus. The problem is that someone drops the MIME delimiter
before the first (or all the leading?) text part of the message.
The fact that we're all using gnus either means something or it doesn't.
I don't know which.
Does anyone know of another Unix or Windoze mail client that can send
pgpmime messages? I'd like to eliminate gnus and demonstrate that the
problem is not on our end.
Be seeing you,

A quick search with google for "multipart boundary mime ezmlm" found
two interesting links:

Maybe gnus gurus can look at it.

Most interesting indeed. Just before reading this message, I concluded
that the only significant difference between mail from gnus (which
doesn't work) and mail from Evolution (which does) is that gnus sends:
From: ...
Other-headers: xxx
--a boundary
The content
and Evolution sends
From: ...
Other-headers: xxx
--a boundary
Content-type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
The content
So, is there any way for me to tell gnus to always send the content
type, even when it apparently thinks it can default it?

Maybe:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
mml-insert-mime-headers-always's value is nil
Documentation:
If non-nil, always put Content-Type: text/plain at top of empty parts.
It is necessary to work against a bug in certain clients.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, (setvar mml-insert-mime-headers-always t) does seem to fix it!
