: Herman,
: 
: What do you mean a client? and what is different in the mail
: routing path of the sent/received mail?  If you mail is being
: opened and read for corporate reason, the signed hash associated
: will report to the recipient that your mail has been altered.  The
: same case, I believe exist with bulk encryption in the path as well
: as bulk virus detection in the path.  Basically all this is telling
: you that something in path from the sender to the receiver is
: examining/possibly altering the mail.       
: 
: it can be as simple as you sending the mail HTML formatted to a
: recipient that can only receive text format, to be very paranoid
: and someone is watching you.  
: 
: b

B.,

        I use O2k, and I have it set to send my E-Mails as plain ASCII text,
and not as HTML.
