Please use postfix quoting format:  your reply goes below the material
cited.  Trim your quotes appropriately and ensure your attributions are
accurate.  Quoted lines should be prefixed with a standard delimiter,
e.g.:  '> '.

Thank you.

You mean, like:

    For lists:

	GNU/Linux / UNIX (most also ported to other platforms via
	compatibility kits such as Cygwin, UWIN, MKS, MS Unix Services
	for NT, etc.)

	    emacs (through various mail extensions), exmh, ishmail, mew
	    (an emacs mail reader), mutt, premail (Netscape plugin),
	    Gnus 5.6.45 with TM and Mailcrypt, KMail, Mixmaster 2.9
	    (internal mail reader), Sylpheed 0.4.63, TkRat, XCmail,

----------
    Some additional informational resources for your benefit:

      - RFC 2015, "MIME Security with Pretty Good Privacy", M. Elkins,
	October, 1996,
	http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc2015.html , spells
	out the standards for encrypted and cryptographically signed
	email.  Note that signature-as-attachment is required by
	RFC2015.

	Note also that munging the content of multipart/signed messages
	violates RFC2015.  This addresses issues with several broken
	mailing list management software packages.

     -  For a list of mailers supporting RFC2015, see:
	http://www.spinnaker.de/mutt/rfc2015.html

     -  For information on GnuPG, the GNU Privacy Guard, see
