I would compare the output of sup, hushmail and enigmail on a similar
message, and see if there's anything obviously different in the MIME
structure. It's possible Sup is emitting something they don't like.

On further testing, removing my signatures (the bit at the bottom of emails,
not the digital type) makes Engimail happy.  I'm still not sure what hushmail's
problem is, but I'm working on that, as well.  So my guess is that sup doesn't
sign the signature of a message, just what it considers to be the body.

Hi all,

I'm having some trouble getting outgoing signed and/or encrypted messages to be
accepted, and I'm hoping someone here has a suggestion.

Previous traffic on sup-talk suggests a number of people are successfully using
gpg, so I'm a bit confused - a friend suggested that this might be because
implementation of the PGP/MIME standard varies widely between clients, so the
problem might be with hushmail and Enigmail rather than with sup or my
configuration thereof.  Can someone confirm this?  Would it help to do inline
signing and encryption rather than PGP/MIME, and if so, is there a patch in
progress to do that, or should I start diving through crypto.rb?

Thanks,

Ian
