Yes but how does one do that?  I have now posted two articles (to  
comp.security.pgp.test) in one checking "PGP-Sign the article" and in  
the other checking "PGP-Encrypt the article" but both appear to have  
been sent with no encryption or signing.  I always thought of Mime as  
dealing with attachments, but I see no way to attach anything to a  
post.  From the link to the gmime docs, is it correct to assume that if  
the signing failed, I would have seen some sort of error notification?
