    Hi, I finally voted.

    Kurt was right. My initial confusion about UI of Evolution created
    mail without signature. (Evolution signature menu is not for PGP sign)

    Also Jessica was right. Evolution PGP sign seems fragile and it
    doesn't work (Maybe I should have used S/MIME sign)

    FYI. I tried sylpheed and claws-mail to vote this time.
    Both GUI based email clients worked well, with GPG sub-key in my yubikey.

    My solution -- get back to good old working method.

    * Export to mbox from Evolution for ballot paper.
    * Read it from mutt.
    * Create reply on mutt
    * Send it from mutt with SSH/sendmail using send2-hook

    I may try S/MIME next time ...


    Thanks

    I signed my vote using Evolution's OpenPGP support and it worked fine for me.

    (Maybe I should have used S/MIME sign)

    Debian doesn't use S/MIME signing in any context.

    Hmmm... This means there is some configuration problem on my part.

    I checked my default settings.

    "Evolution Preferences" -> "Composer Preferences" -> "General"
    I see, under "Replies and Forwards", "Wrap quoted text in replies" was
    checked as the system/vendor default.

    This looks like the culprit which wrapped lines to break voting mail.

    Thanks.
