It would appear that on Aug 13, Alexander Dalloz did say "To" Rodrigo
M.Affonso:

Mostly I would agree with you Alexander, But I do think however that
part of why not so "proper" mail clients have such problems also stems
from your choosing to use a detached "digital signierter"
My chosen mail-client "Pine" (which I think is still a "proper" mail
client) does display your message text that does none the less arrive as
an attachment. Note this was copied from pines attachment data for:
"Message-ID: <1092418784.12513.115.camel at serendipity.dogma.lan>"
- -> Parts/Attachments:
- -> 1.1 Shown ~31 lines Text
- -> 1.2 196 bytes Application, "Dies ist ein digital signierter Nach
- -> 2 Shown 4 lines Text
However, even though pine is fairly mail standards compliant, if I try to
reply to a message with a detached sig such as yours, this is what I
get:
=> PINE 4.60 COMPOSE MESSAGE REPLY [H] <Incoming-Folders> fedora-now 330 Msgs
=>
=> From : "Joe(theWordy)Philbrook" <jtwdyp at ttlc.net>
=> Newsgrps: gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general
=> Attchmnt: 1. [Multipart] (1.2KB) "",
=> 2. [Text] (123bytes) ""
=> Subject : Re: attached messages
=> ----- Message Text -----
<no quoted message text makes it to the composer>
This would bug me if I hadn't discovered that with pine, If I export
such a message then open the export folder and reply to the exported
copy of the message I get a quoted copy of the message text in the
composer without getting any included attachments...
Don't get me wrong Alexander, I think proper mail clients should know
how to work with detached sigs, but even though I wrapped my copy of
pine with: ez-pine-gpg v0.4c ## http://Business-PHP.com/opensource/ez-pine-gpg/
And can automatically verify embedded pgp sigs, I can't verify the ones
that like you, choose to use the detached sig... (Unless perhaps if I
saved both the text and the detached sig attachments separately to files,
perhaps then the gpg command line syntax for detached sigs would work!?!)
I just think that when you told the OP to get a better mail-client you
could have explained just what it was about your message that the OP
needed a better mail client for...
Have a nice day.
