<p>there's a two reasons why we chose not to support the creation
of PGP inline processed messages.</p>
<p>The first and most important reason, Inline PGP was never
defined as a standard as opposed to PGP/MIME. That's why there are
a lot of different implementations out there and makes it a serious
pain in the ass to already support Inline PGP decoding of messages.
Most clients only support a small list of features of Inline
PGP.<br>
We decided not to encourage the use of an old and outdated method
for encrypting/signing mails with PGP and rather stick with the
standardized PGP/MIME method.</p>
<p>The second reason is the nature of GPGMail 2.0 for Lion being a
complete rewrite of the plugin. We're a very small team with very
little time at hand and didn't want to "waste" our valuable time on
that feature.</p>
<p>However, as I already suggested on Twitter, in a night of coding
I've hacked very experimental support of creating PGP Inline
messages into GPGMail.<br>
Signing/Encrypting of plain text is supported, attachments are
not.</p>
<p>To enable PGP Inline support run the following command in
Terminal.app:</p>
<pre>
<code>defaults write org.gpgtools.gpgmail UseOpenPGPInlineToSend -bool YES</code>
</pre>
<p>After running the command restart Mail.app and you'll be able to
send PGP inline messages.</p>
<p>If you want to disable it again, run the command again and
change YES to NO</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/135915882012-02-10T15:57:06Z2012-02-10T15:57:06ZPlaintext PGP signature support<div><p>Hey Luke,</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick reply! I wasn't aware of the issues with
inline PGP signatures. I can see why you might not want to include
it in GPGMail now.</p>
<p>I'll give this a try and see how it works out but after reading
what you said, I might be back to the PGP/MIME functionality pretty
quickly.</p>
<p>Thanks again. I'll be sure to send a donation your way
shortly.</p>

I'll close this discussion but feel free to open a new one if you
run into problems again.<br>
We're always happy to help</p></div>Luke Le
