Re: Kmail problems with signed attachments



I wonder if this is what happens:

I *know* in transit some of the CRs may get turned into CRLFs (Can't confirm 
when tho!) and therefore KMail assumes that this is certain to happen, and 
therefore signs the message with them in to ensure that things will match ok?
