Research direction

Start by tracing where verification e-mails are generated and compare the current Inline PGP handling with RFC 3156. The work is done when verification messages use the requested PGP/MIME format and the existing verification flow still works.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The verification e-mails are currently Inline PGP, which is problematic for a number of reasons, and difficult to parse safely. Please use RFC 3156-style PGP/MIME instead.
