[openpgp] MIME signature impact

2015-04-07 08:02:37
If we are doing an overhaul of PGP, one of the things that needs
fixing is a way to send signed messages that does not get in the way.

'If this is there, its probably fine'.

Problem with the ASCII approach is that most of the important stuff in
mail is in the attachments.


When PGP was invented, mail had huge amounts of lossage that would
break things for no reason. That is no longer the case. Most mail
transport is 8-bit clean.

A way to use a PGP key for DKIM would be nice. And PGP should make use
of the same code paths in MIME that mean that S/MIME headers don't get
in the way.
