Er, isn't it Outlook _Express_ that isn't MIME complaint? I
understood that Outlook (not the same program as OE) can handle
PGP/MIME just fine, at least after changing a few settings.
I don't use Outlook or Outlook Express (though I fear that may change
as I transition to my new job) so I may be talking out of my ass. If
so, sorry for the confusion.
