PGP, Eudora 5.1 and quoting in replies

[R. Dale Shipp]

I am trying to get all of the kinks out of upgrading from version 3.05 to
version 5.1.

The one I am working on now is a difference in the way that PGP decrypts
seem to be handled, and how it has an effect on replying to such
messages.

The default quoting style in 5.1 is putting a bar on the left hand
side -- something I find abhorent. Thanks to someone else, I was able to
cure that behavior for most messages and now version 5.1 uses the more
normal style of quoting with ">" signs.

However, when replying to a message with styled text, it still uses the
bar on the left side for me.

It also seems that PGP decrypts are stored as styled text, although I
cannot see why this should be true -- nor any setting that clearly
effects this. That means that when I attempt to reply to a message that
was originally encrypted via PGP, I get the abhorent left hand bar of
styled text.

Does anyone know how to either
a. make even styled text use > signs in quoting -- or --
b. make PGP decrypts be normal text and not styled text -- or --
c. how to change a styled text message into a normal message without
styled text?

Once I got any of these things, I would be a happy camper. (well
almost -- the only other thing would be to figure out how to make
PGP/MIME work the way it did in 3.05 -- encrypt only when the message
leaves, not when it is queued.).

It doesn't look like you're using a Mac, but in Mac Eudora this is easy to do,
since you can set things up so that all quoted text in replies is converted to
plain text.

In Mac Eudora, this can be done by selecting the text you want to convert and
pressing cmd-option-t.

Correct, I am using Windows ME.

I hope that someone using windows can point me to the equivalent
command! I had thought that cutting the text with CTRL-X and pasting
with SHIFT-CTRL-V might remove the formatting / styled markings, but it
did not.

I read that, good page --- just wish there was equivalent for Windows
version :-}}

It would seem that should work, but it does not for me. What happens
when Clear Formatting is applied to a decrypted PGP message, the text is
then displayed along with all of the HTML codes. A partial snippet from
a message where I used "clear formatting" is below to show what I mean:
