Could you post an example with Enigmail?

Not right now, I think.  The inline PGP needs an overhaul.  During
sending, it should warn the user about all possible dangers of using
QP, and allow the user to chose how to send it (there are three
different ways of sending inline PGP with QP).  During receiving, it
should try all three different ways before giving up.

I have just check a message posted with Ximian Evolution 1.4.5 and
they now sign correctly outgoing messages. Since I do not know any
other clients messing with that, it should be useless to start coding
alternate decodings.
