Re: Mozilla + Enigmail signature problem

Hi Group,

I am surprised that nobody here seems to use Mozilla+Enigmail.
Anyway, I found the source of the problem.
The signature is evaluated to be invalid/bad each time when there is at 
least one line in the message body that is longer than sixty-some 
characters, maybe seventy-some. So it is related to the length of the lines.

Solution:
If you need longer lines than that (without force-breaking them with a 
CR or LF), then you have to set the *"Use PGP/MIME for this message"* 
option before sending the mail.
