How would I do this? I think there used to be an option, but with my
current icedove from lenny, I just can't find. it.

[I know I shouldn't use such bloatware, but I'm so much used to it that
it's really difficult to switch...]

Ok, it seems (??) I found the trick:
It is not in OpenPGP -> Preferences.

Instead write a new message; only this window appears to have the config
option:
OpenPGP -> Default composition options -> Signing/Encryption options
finally check "Always use PGP/Mime"

...not exactly obvious. Maybe this explains.

Since I am not really sure if this will work now, I'd appreciate a short
feed back.

Thanks, HTH,

Johannes
