   Hi Frank, while ago I got message which have pgp signature stored in
   diferent part of message:

       [ Part 2, Application/PGP-SIGNATURE  240bytes. ]
       [ Cannot display this part. Press "V" then "S" to save in a file. ]

   I'm using pgp4pine and it isn't able to handle this, your
   pgpenvelope at first look seemed to be able to handle this because
   it can work as filter ... but it doesn't -- it leaves message
   unmodified :( Did I miss something or this realy isn't supported?

Unfortunately, pgpenvelope nor pgp4pine can handle MIME messages while
inside of Pine very well because of limitations of Pine.  Kinda sad,
really, since Pine was one of the first mailers to implement MIME at all,
and now its support for it inside of filters is very poor.

The best place this can be handled is inside of a procmail script that
converts OpenPGP/MIME to cleartext signatures, but I haven't implemented
it.

   Anyway I like way how you implemented outgoing messages
   signing/ecrypting so I will use this part :)

Thanks :)  I'm curious; I've never used pgp4pine; what exactly do you like
about pgpenvelope over pgp4pine?
