GPG Failure from Evolution

GPG Failure from Evolution

I've noticed that when I send a PGP-signed email using Evolution, Gnus
can never successfully verify it.

My GPG settings are:

(require 'gpg)

I'm attaching one such message. I wonder who is not playing nice.

I know at least two mutt users that have the same problem as you;
their signatures are fine when checked with mutt, however, are found
to be bad with Gnus.

I second that. 

My GPG settings are:

It seems like the reverse is true too. The message I am following up to
is verified successfully by Gnus, but Evolution complains:

	This message is digitally signed but can not be proven to be
	authentic.

Do you have any guess on what that may happen? 

I've had problems with just three or four users now... And there are a 
lot of people on my keyring. 

The same people I've had problems and to whom I've written some
messages, reported to have problems with my signature. 

From what I've talked to them, they use Evolution and Pine. Only one
with Pine...

Mutt is known to put "micalg=pgp-md5" even when SHA-1 was used.  It is
only a problem if you use Mailcrypt though (gpg.el supports detached
signatures).  If you edit the message to say "micalg=pgp-sha1" it should
work.

GPG and Mailcrypt (was: GPG Failure from Evolution)

As I see, you are using mailcrypt and gpg.el.

Let's say you want to encrypt or sign 'in-body' you will then use
mc-sign instead of mml-secure-sign-pgpmime. It might be usefull as
sometimes you talk with people which don't understand MIME signature
(Outlook, etc) but only the ones put directly in the body.

But then you do have to enter your passphrase twice as the var name
isn't the same for mailcrypt and gpg. I guess maybe gpg.el should use
the same name to prevent that.

Also it would be nice to have a feature which allow to automaticly sign
any signed message, and same for crypt. The only thing needed is to set
up a var to true when gpg verify the signature, if true then we sign in
mail-send-hook. (I don't no sh*t about lisp, but I guess it should
work this way). Is this feature in the TODO list of Gnus ? :-)
