Hey Peter,
That's an OE bug, not me, sorry. The explain goes something like this:
Outlook Express has a problem with MIME handling related to
multipart/signed (RFC1847/MIME-Encyp) where a signed message that
conforms to the 'OpenPGP Message Format' (RFC4880) does not display the
body of the message when the body Content-Type is text/plain. The body
is incorrectly presented as an attachment with an invented filename
rather than being displayed as per the behavior described by MIME-Encyp
for when an MUA does not support the specific verification method.
Usenet as shown @
http://web.archive.org/web/200807190...enet/rules.txt
(see section titled 'No binaries: "Usenet is Text"'). PGP/MIME is fully
legit on usenet.
This OE bug has existed since 2001 apparently, while the standards track
status of MIME-Encyp predates that to around 1997.
