Well David, actually I was unaware that it was bad mime.

I originally encrypted only the attachments and they worked fine for me.
Then later I began encrypting the entire order and I have left the mime tags
in place as you see them in the code I pasted. I only changed the primary
encryptor to /bin/cat.

I get the encrypted message and when I decrypt it, I see the header you
mentioned before over the credit card number. The number is no longer an
attachment at least in Outlook (I know Outlook sucks, but I have an Exchange
server I must access), but displays fine.

I haven't investigated why it is no longer an attachment or even bothered to
remove the mime because they haven't bothered me.


Have you tired to view the reports in something other than Pine? Maybe it's
a problem only specific to Pine.

Thanks for the info. Changing the above to:

[scratch order_text]
[scratch mv_credit_card_info]

...does properly give a non-MIME single message (PGP encoded). Now the $64
question is, what *should* it have been to make the options for simple
actually work?

I'm sure that the '[tag op=mime ...' is supposed to have some meaning
somewhere, but the docs refer to '[tag mime ...' instead. From the docs,
I'd expect the above to work, not produce bad MIME (are there good
mimes?)... but then again, I have no way of knowing because I don't have
any code examples that seem to actually work. I can't compare questionable
code with good code and say, "aha! that's the problem."
