Hello, I have two complaints about this proposal: 1. There is an already widely used way of encapsulating MIME content into PGP messages, PGP/MIME (a.k.a. RFC 3156), and this proposal is not compatible with it. 2. In this proposal, mime type would not be part of the hashed content for digital signatures, meaning that it can be changed without breaking the digital signature. This is dangerous. PGP/MIME does not have this weakness. -- Daniel
