11 Yeah, they should probably only use one technique to sign their messages.
12 inline PGP/GPG is deprecated, IIRC, because it doesn't handle attachments
13 well (or at all?). S/MIME is preferred now but, inline PGP/GPG, being a
14 bit older, has better support. I know kmail still has some ease-of-use
15 issues with S/MIME, but I don't think it affects correctness.
