Using gpg to secure your communication is great. It would also be great to end this topic at this point but I guess an unwritten law in end user cryptology is: "It would not be secure if it was not somehow obscure and user unfriendly."
--Apple-Mail Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 If you receive a pgp encrypted mail from Apple users it will not only have a obscure char set encoding it will also be encoded as quoted-printable before the encryption with gpg. This results in a lot of pain for e.g. German mails. Not only newlines (=20) will look great also the umlauts ä (=E4) ü (=FC) and so on will be terrible for reading after decryption.
