Hello! When sending email with Alpine (after pinepgp is installed), I noticed that any email which was digitally signed (and not also encrypted) would result in a blob of crypto-text. Previously, the behavior was to send a separate, "ascii-armored" digital signature inline with the plaintext message. It's because gpg is called with the "-s" ("--sign") flag, instead of "--clearsign": brant@fresh ~ $ grep -- -sign\, .pinerc /usr/bin/gpg-sign, brant@fresh ~ $ file /usr/bin/gpg-sign /usr/bin/gpg-sign: symbolic link to `pinegpg' brant@fresh ~ $ grep "/usr/bin/gpg" /usr/bin/pinegpg ces="/usr/bin/gpg -at -s" cee="/usr/bin/gpg -at -e" cese="/usr/bin/gpg -at -se" cec="/usr/bin/gpg" brant@fresh ~ $ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo "mail-client/alpine chappa" >> /etc/portage/package.use 2. emerge "mail-client/alpine" 3. /usr/bin/pinegpg-install 4. gpg --gen-key ## 2048-bit DSA/Elgamal is what I used. 5. alpine 6. Compose an email, ideally to another personal email address. At send-time, select "gpg-sign" from the filter list. 7. Enter passphrase to unlock secret key and sign the message (gpg -s). 8. Check the received message or check the alpine "sent-mail" file.

Thanks for your time. -Brant
