I had this problem a while back as well, I believe the answer I heard on
another mailing list was Outlook was broken to the RFC standard (as
usual). However, the solution is to "clear sign", or "inline sign" your
message, so the little header and footer for GPG come in the actual
email message body. How exactly you set this up with your particular
email client, I don't know. I don't even think Evolution can do this,
but I think Moz can.
