Both of you make reasonable points. (I read cypherpunks exclusively with mutt, which does follow the standards, perhaps even fanatically.) But there seems to be little benefit to (a) signing messages, though this admittedly a personal issue and (b) using MIME types when some mailreaders will not support them. Heck, even leaving aside the Eudora problem, MIME attachments would pose problems if I want to use /bin/mail in a pinch. -Declan (living in the '80s) On Sun, Dec 03, 2000 at 09:26:29PM -0500, Riad S.

I agree that people should stick to ASCII, which is why my messages are completely made up of plain ASCII text. I use the content-type fields only to make it easier for mailers that support MIME to handle my messages; in this case, it's text/plain, so everyone should display it the same. Presumably that includes your mail client, as I've tested my mutt patch against Eudora Pro, and it seems to work fine. If it doesn't, please let me know how it misbehaves so that I can fix it.
