Why do you want to do this? Following the "MIME Security with OpenPGP"=20
specification (RFC 3156) the to be signed data is first canonicalized=20
(e.g. all line endings are converted to CRLF) and then the signature is=20
calculated. Textmode signatures don't make any sense in this setting.=20
They were used by PGP 2 in order to circumvent exactly the problems=20
that are nowadays circumvented by the canonicalization prior to=20
calculating the signature. Textmode signatures do only make sense when=20
you clearsign a text. But Evolution doesn't support clearsigning AFAIK.

Ingo
