What is unclear to me is if inline PGP messages are broken by design. Bug#698080 more looks like a regression that should be fixable, not an inherent problem of inline PGP. For attachments, enigmail per default asks how to send them. > There is no consensus on the upstream mailing list about whether > PGP/MIME or inline PGP should be the default, so upstream's > default has stayed at inline PGP out of inertia. As far as I understand from reading a few messages from the upstream mailing list, any possible default setting has the potential to cause highly controversial discussions. > However, debian should try to actively support more than > english-only e-mail with no attachments.

I could live with this change if it is acknowledged by upstream, and we treat it as an experimental change (documented in README.Debian) that we might decide to take back before the jessie freeze.
