Subject: MIME and PGP support

Pine's current MIME support is very poor.  I have had to resort to Elm
because of -- get this -- the inability to attach plain text files in the
text/plain format without encoding!  This is not good.

Also, is there any potential for adding PGP support to Pine?  Again, this is
already in elm+pgp+mime package that I have had to resort to.

Hello,

> already in elm+pgp+mime package that I have had to resort to.

  I don't know about others, but once PGP 3.0 is released I am planning 
on making a version of Pine that will smoothly work with PGP.  Right now 
you can use a program called mkpgp.  This is a script program for working 
with PGP.  Enjoy.
