AFAIK, only ASCII armor is used to sign email messages. Even if this is not always the case, 8bit data is recommended to send base64 encoded, so I don't really understand your concern. Anyway, with my implementation we are free to do whatever we need with any content type, so if this is not a text type, we don't even *have* to transfer-encoding decode it. We don't even have to show it in the message. Please feel free to explain what you mean. I appreciate your input very much. -- Alexander Pohoyda PGP Key fingerprint: 7F C9 CC 5A 75 CD 89 72 15 54 5F 62 20 23 C6 44
