The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Stefan Hölzle <address@concealed>]

Hello,

I came across a solution, it's trivial, really..
Sympa doesn't touch the body of PGP signed messages if openssl is
configured in sympa.conf.

It took me about 2 days to find that out and I don't think it makes any
sense at all:
The openssl configuration is associated with S/MIME and I don't use S/MIME.

Nonetheless, setting openssl to the openssl binary in sympa.conf solves
my issue.
