[Gpg4win-devel] GPGtools vs GPG4win regression

Dear all,

I fear there are again issues when receiving encrypted emails from GPGtools.
The resulting emails appear in Outlook as they contained the infamous ‘encrypted.asc’ attachment, and the content fails to be decrypted in-line.

If the GPGTools sender is using the following work-around, it fixes the issue:

"PGP/MIME is the official standard way to send OpenPGP encrypted and signed messages.
GPGMail sticks to this standard to send your emails.

However some legacy mail applications, especially Windows mail applications don't support this
standard yet.

So if you really, really run into problems with GPGMail, you can try to enable PGP/Inline support.

	defaults write org.gpgtools.gpgmail UseOpenPGPInlineToSend -bool YES
Switch back to the documented OpenPGP/MIME standard

	defaults write org.gpgtools.gpgmail UseOpenPGPInlineToSend -bool NO"

(https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/gpgmail-faq/gpgmail-2-hidden-settings#enable-pgp-inline-for-support-of-legacy-mail-clients-important-for-windows-compatability-)

I think the issue was already addressed in 2.3.0. Did I miss something?

Thanks in advance,
Romain.
