I don't use promail, and don't need to: mutt has an option, for not
showing it:
" Also note that using the old-style PGP message format is strongly
deprecated. (PGP only)
pgp_auto_decode
Type: boolean
Default: no
If set, mutt will automatically attempt to decrypt traditional PGP
messages whenever the user performs an operation which
ordinarily would result in the contents of the message being
operated on.
For example, if the user displays a pgp-traditional message which
has not been manually checked with the check-traditional-pgp
function, mutt will automatically check the message for traditional
pgp."
And I'm capable of typing ESC shift p.
But I intentionally copied the last sentence of the option before.
I think the most GUI Clients silently check for inline pgp, Thunderbird
for sure.
Since the most users, don't realize that they are using the old format,
I thought I should make them aware of that.
OK, I could blame enigmail for using this default, but I stated before,
why it seems to be that way.
But as the users intentionally choose to sign their messages, they could
check the options, before using it.
Most of all, it annoys me that all DSA messages are signed inline,
therefor the rant.
