GPGMail / EnigMail interaction issue
I'm using GPGMail 2.0a30 on Lion with Mail.app. I previously used Thunderbird/EnigMail. My contacts still use Thunderbird/EnigMail and they cannot read any email I send them with GPGMail signed or encrypted. If I revert to Thunderbird, they can read my email.
I'd like to know if it's a GPGMail issue, an EnigMail configuration issue, an Exchange issue, etc. I'm sending the email through a Unix SMTP server, but the users' mailboxes are on Exchange.
Since your team decided to only support PGP/MIME, I'd like to know the secret to enabling inline encryption for those folks until I can get another fix in place. Thanks.

Hi Brian,
The blame goes to Exchange. It severely messes with the original message headers and even mime parts. GPGMail uses a workaround to make those messages readable again. There's a good chance Enigmail doesn't.
As for inline encryption, you can enable it with the following steps:
1.) Close Mail.app
2.) Type the following line in Terminal.app and press enter
defaults write org.gpgtools.gpgmail UseOpenPGPInlineToSend -bool YES
3.) Open Mail.app
As previously mentioned on various other discussions, this is experimental support at best, coded in a night-session.
We don't have much time at our hands as it is, so I don't think we'll add proper support soon.
If you're not sending attachments you should be fine though.
