What do you mean, exactly, by "emulate M$" in this context? Due to a limitation in the way the MIME data is exposed to add-ins, LookOut can *only* support inline signing. It cannot presently support PGP/MIME, which is the newer standard. (This is a serious defect; it means you can't PGP sign attachments.) Adding inline signing is an attempt to improve interop with MS and others. The reason it went away was tied to problems supporting multibyte character sets with inline signing. regards, petard -- If your message really might be confidential, download my PGP key here: http://petard.freeshell.org/petard.asc and encrypt it.
