[imp] OpenPGP compatibility?

[Eric Sheesley]

I suspect you're right.  There is a .dat for each mime section so obviously
it is just naming them that cause it doesn't know what else to do.  It seems
that most programs support inline encryption/sigs but not so many support
mime encoded.  Does this seem like the best directiont to take? 

Thanks,
Eric

It sounds like maybe they are OpenPGP complaint but they are not
OpenPGP/MIME compliant (RFC 3156).  I tend to think this is the case since
IMP doesn't attach a .dat file at all, nor does it label any of the parts in
the OpenPGP/MIME message with an .dat extension.
