I don't think it's any sort of conspiracy to flaut the standards in this
case; they were just sloppy, or left out a feature that they figured
ought to be a reason to upgrade, or something like that.

It's ironic that OE probably displays HTML "attachments" or RTF
"attachments" correctly (doesn't it?) but doesn't display signed
text attachments.

'Course, mutt has the opposite condition... handles these signed
emails wonderfullly but I have to hit a few extra keys to view HTML.
They ought to just display the output of w3m -dump perhaps, instead
of requiring me to open the attachment in w3m explicitly.

Anyway nothing to get your panties in a knot about, just pick a better
email client.
