1) The "Dark Side of the Source" relies on malleable sheep to accept their
crappy kludges around problems they can't and/or don't want to work out
properly. I personally don't see why I should cripple my tools just because
a software company (which I already regard not very highly) can't get its
act together.

2) The client you linked to doesn't do both ascii-armoured and pgp/mime, it
only does pgp/mime: "You can use GPGMail for plain text and MIME messages,
following RFC 3156". Note where the comma is - it implies that both plain
text and MIMEified messages can be signed in an RFC3156-compliant manner,
therefore via PGP/MIME.

Doctors can be frustrating. You wait six weeks for an
