It was shown here (using pan and gmane) as a multipart/mixed MIME message with the original text content GPG signed and included as the first MIME part. Below that was the second MIME part, the "Pan-users mailing list" footer added by the mailing list software. I suspect the original was sent as a simple single-part MIME message, complete with GPG-signature. The mailing list software would have then added the mailing list footer as a second MIME part, converting the message as a whole into a multipart/mixed message in ordered to add the second part. Since they /are/ text, pan displays both parts directly, altho it separates the gpg/pgp-signature into its own little attachment. When I have pan save both text and attachments, it creates only one attachment, the signature, with the entire thing including the sig in the article file. It's viewing it (in a text editor) that I was able to see the MIME structure I described above. I see you are using some sort of MS thing to reply and presumably to view. No surprise there that it had the body as an attachment. Actually, that does make a bit of sense, as it would be easier that way to pass the entire signed part to gpg/pgp/whatever for signature verification, since it obviously doesn't handle that built-in. Presumably, if you were using say thunderbird, with the enigmail extension, to view the post, it would verify the signature. I know kmail (my mail client) handles such things, but of course, as I said I'm using gmane and pan, as I said, to view this list as a newsgroup. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
