Yes, one that implements PGP/MIME support.
That's so much like
M$'s way of thinking that I wouldn't choose to use that method even if I
"liked" any of the gui mail clients...
Can you explain that theory of thinking further?
Especially when/if a user of such
a mail client wants to verify, or decrypt some ascii armored message
body from me, all they should need to do is to save the message as a
temporary text file, and run a command line utility on it,
... and run into problems when some mail relay converted the original
content encoding to something else, e.g. 8-bit to quoted-printable or
vice versa.
Works for me!

^^^^ This is an ugly side-effect of inlined PGP signing. The
signature separator is escaped with a leading '- ', and most--if not
all--mail user agents won't recognize it anymore. E.g. I had to strip
off your overlong signature manually. Signatures should not exceed
four lines of text.
