Hi,
Note that I am not arguing against using PGP/MIME. I use it whenever
I can, and I honestly believe it is the way to go. Unfortunately, not
everyone is able to use it. Since I do not forsee this situation
changing anytime soon - I've waited 8 years now - a features flag or
notation is a simple indicator of the mail preference of the
keyholder.
Well, as soon as someone contributes a PGP/MIME capable plugin for a
specific mail client from a very specific company I am willing to say
that PGP/MIME might have a chance becoming a new standard (*).
In the meanwhile we should not use a rarely spread flag indicating the
use of keyservers to say "hey, I like PGP/MIME". I don't like hacks anymore.
Using a notation sounds ok for me.
Best Regards,
Holger Sesterhenn
