Which causes problems for users that don't have a mail program that understands PGP signed messages. hmm, It looks as thought the Mailing List software was changed from MajorDomo to Mailman-Version: 2.1.1, and instead of appending the list signature to the end of a message. The Mailing List software now encapsulates the "Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1" inside a "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; " before appending the list signature. Unfortuanately, this now breaks my de-pgp-sig filter which had converted multipart/signed to multipart/mixed (it only replaced signed with mixed in the header). Scot
