Maybe that last point is the important one - in Thunderbird I have the option of sending PGP/mime - but I can't see how to do this in Evolution? Is there a switch I am missing because I did not look deep enough or is it that Evolution just can't do PGP/Mime??
At the moment you can't. There's been a lot of resistance to it as it's non-standard, but apparently some work is being done on it, see http://www.go-evolution.org/FAQ#Why_does_Evolution_attach_a_.asc-file_to_my_...
Thank you, that is useful - though I am now more confused - I have TB set to use PGP/Mime and sign email - and it is received by either TB or Evo and verifies just fine - but from the quote it says that (concerning Evolution): "When you sign emails, the GPG signature is embedded in a .asc file, this is called Outline PGP (or PGP/MIME). It is not embedded in the header/footer of the email because Inline PGP is currently not supported by Evolution" - I thought this (PGP/Mime) was the same as what I am using for Thunderbird? If so why does Thunderbird then not verify? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
