Re: [LUG] Etiquette was Re: And this is bad news...

Gmail handles PGP/Mime signature attachments fine, but doesn't offer to
try and check the signature (sigh).

It doesn't handle inline PGP signatures well.

It displays VCF attachments for download, but doesn't offer to import them!

It displays text in an email after "-- " as greyed out, so it recognizes
it as a signature correctly. Then it fails to offer an option to not
quote this text in replies.

Just don't compare it to a real email client and you won't be
disappointed ;)

Sorry if this rubs your rhubarb a bit but does it really matter?

PGP signatures - is there a point?  I can't think of a situation where I'd end up crying over a VCF.  I've either got contact details or I haven't.

I use email all over the place, at work, at friends houses, at home.  Gmail is there, wherever there's an operating system with a browser of some sort bolted on.

As far as I can remember the only place I've ever been told off for top posting was in this user group, so I start typing at the bottom these days if I remember as it's the fair enough that you all want the same format.
