It's a bad idea to display the signature verification status inline, intermixed with the message body itself. And don't tell me people always check the time and date displayed by mutt... :)
A "bad idea", huh? I'd say that's a tad bit of opinion rather than fact. I like being able to read the PGP verification inline with the message - It makes things much easier without having to view the verification separately, lest open an attachment. PGP sigs and text docs show inline in my config; attachments for which I don't have MIME types registered show up as a simple list and have to be viewed using 'v'. touche on time and date, though. -- [ rich henning ] /"\ [ henninrp () fast net ] \ / X support the ascii ribbon campaign against html e-mail / \
