Yeah, what Kevin said.

Outlook and OE don't understand PGP/MIME - IIRC, even PGP's plug-in has this
problem.

If you're dependent on Outlook/OE users then your only real choice is inline PGP
and plain text.

If you _Absolutely_ _positively_ *MUST* use HTML, you're going to have endless
headaches. That's just the state of the email encryption universe.
