I believe you are correct. There is usually a signed attachement in addition
to the actual text. We are required to use M$ Exchange and get our mail through
an exchange server at work. It also does our calendering. M$ Exchange is has a
lot of brain damaged features, but the alternative is to buy the Linux exchange
client myself and install it on a machine here. I have not gotten that desparate
yet. I will search for GPG or PGP plugins for this beast. Thank you for the
recommendation.
