RFC 2015 messages

[Trevor J. <tr...@jp...>]

How can I use pgpenvelope with messages that use the RFC 2015 MIME types
(described at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2015.txt)?  My setup looks
like this:

	$ grep -i mime .pinerc|grep -v ^#
	mimetype-search-path=/usr/local/etc/apache/mime.types
	$ grep -i pgp /usr/local/etc/apache/mime.types
	application/pgp-encrypted
	application/pgp-keys
	application/pgp-signature

I've configured pine to use pgpenvelope according to the examples in the
man page.  I tried editing a message I'd received, changing the MIME type
to text/plain, and pgpenvelope could decrypt it afterward (not
beforehand).  I tried sending a message, and it was given a text/plain
MIME type.  I'm told that for users of Mutt (an MUA for Unix--see
www.mutt.org), such messages are more difficult to decode than ones
constructed according to the RFC (the author of the RFC is also the author
of Mutt).
