[imp] Attn:Dev's..imp gpg continues to be broken (for me).

[dscott@phivedesign.com]

Hello all,

Further to my email yesterday concerning the broken(ness) of imp and its GPG 
implementation.
I have been working on this for 2 weeks now, and still the same "Notice: Object 
to string conversion in /usr/local/lib/php/Mail/mimeDecode.php on line 368
" result.
Today I finally caved in and loaded the Win32 
version of GNU PGP. I executed the following:

gpg -e -a test.txt

The result was test.asc, which I then opened in notepad and copied it's 
contents into a plain text email in Outlook.  I then emailed myself the 
encrypted contents through Outlook and was actually able to auto-decode and 
read its unencrypted contents using IMP.

Below are the sources for the corresponding email (edited for content).  

Working GPG email sent via Outlook:

My question to the Dev's.  Why all the extraneous stuff in the msg headers and 
body?...:

This message is in MIME format.

--=_afd15f889e0f1bce83ad0897

Who is breaking the RFC's..Outlook, or Imp? 

Any help would be appreciated. I have wanted this kind of functionality in IMP 
for a very long time and am pretty frustrated by it right now.

Regards.

D.
