Re: PGP 7.0 and PGP/MIME?

This looks like it's not even trying to do PGP/MIME.

7.0's MUA plugins STILL don't get PGP/MIME right?  If so: Why?

Hi!

I am trying to communicate securely with someone who is using Win98.
She is mainly using Eudora with a PGP 7.0.x plugin, I am using mutt
1.2.5 with gnupg 1.0.4. 
The problem is thus:
When I send an encrypted message to her, it appears with an empty
body and 2 attachments: One just contains the string 'version 1.0',
the second one contains the actual message. Eudora/PGP can't deal
with that.
When she sends me an encrypted message, it shows up with content
type 'text/plain' and the whole encrypted message is in the body.
I can decrypt it by pressing the '|' key and then typing 'gpg',
but I know that mutt has the potential to automatically recognize
encrypted messages; it does it when I send messages to myself. But
those come from mutt, of course.

Does anyone know what we are doing wrong (besides our choice of
operating systems)? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
j
