|
|
<P>In the first days, the PGP sign was included inside the text to sign.
|
|
Later, it was included the <CODE>application/pgp</CODE> MIME type to show that
|
|
the next attach was the sign or the encrypted PGP message, and finally,
|
|
with the PGP/MIME specification, it was possible to isolate the sign from
|
|
the original affected, to not modify absolutelly and somebody that didn't
|
|
have PGP could view the message as it was originally (only for signed
|
|
messages), without any added text in the beginning or in the end from PGP.
|
|
<P>The actual situation is that only a few mail user agents (MUAs) are
|
|
capable to integrate PGP to use the PGP/MIME standard, and it is necesary
|
|
to send messages using the old time PGP sign when you know that the
|
|
recipient doesn't recognize PGP/MIME.
|
|
<P>In Linux, the available mail user agents that are PGP/MIME compliant are
|
|
mutt-i and pine. In Windows, only the Eudora mail client versions 3.x and
|
|
4.x can use PGP/MIME. If you know any other mail user agent that supports
|
|
it, tell us by mail, to include it here.
