#6 ytnefprocess.pl brakes GPG-signed mails

After some time with winmail.dat files in the mail. I
got tiered and installed ytnef. And all works fine
except that all mail signed by GPG (as I do with mine)
gets broken when passing throw ytnefprocess.pl.

I think its because the body of the message gets some
updates as removal of unnecessary space (at end of
line: =20=20=20 becomes =20 ). It seams as an good idea
but GPG sees the differences and don't like it. Could
this be fixed or do I have to dig into ytnefprocess.pl
and fix it my self?

    To my knowledge, there is no way to fix it.

    GPG works by calculating a signature on the entire message,
    attachments and all. When ytnefprocess.pl changes the
    message (by adding attachments), the signature no longer
    matches. The only solution I know of, is to manually decode
    the winmail.dat after the message has been received &
    processed by your gpg-client.

    But the GPG gets broken even if there are no attachments!
    When there are a winmail.dat attached then I can live with
    that the GPG brakes but not when ytnefprocess.pl shouln't do
    anything with the mail (no winmial.dat file attached).
