I just use C-c C-m s s, which adds the signing cooking <#secure method=smime mode=sign> all right. I've configured smime following the instructions in the manual, which are basically the same as those in the emacs wiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusSMIME), pointing Gnus to a valid (as far as i can tell) key file. The problem is that when i send the message, emacs won't ask me for the key password, but it won't produce any error or message i can see either, and send and empty signature mime component in the mail[0]. Any hints on how to further diagnose the problem or solve it greatly appreaciated! Cheers, jao [0] For a news message like this one (i'm sending it through gmane), send fails with the message: Couldn't send message via news: 441 Post rejected, formatting error: Header tag not found. but i guess that has to do with the smime protocol being no suitable for nntp?
