Getting started with gpg.el

Getting started with gpg.el

[Kirk Strauser]

I've just switched to Oort (via Debian/unstable packages) and want to start
using gpg.el.  I can successfully sign and verify emails, but would like to
automatically sign all outgoing email (bonus points if I can configure it
per-group so as not to confuse my parents).  I know this is possible (hey,
it's Gnus!), but is it something that's already built-in that I've
overlooked so far, or do I need to start hacking up key bindings?

(add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook 'mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)

Works for me. It add a text line in the message buffer which I just
delete when I don't want a message to be signed.

Hans,

I've been thinking that it would be nice to configure this per-group.  What
I'd like to do is set a variable in topic parameter or group parameters that
would contain the name of hooks to handle within only the specified groups.
I don't know enough list to make it happen, but it would be along the lines
of:

In .gnus:

 (add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook late-bound-variable-with-hook-name)

In topic parameters:

 (late-bound-variable-with-hook-name . "mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime")

In group parameters where no signing is desirable:

 (late-bound-variable-with-hook-name . nil)


I realize that it's very easy to delete the "<#secure method..." line when
signing isn't desireable, but what good is Gnus if you have to do anything
manually?  :)

Totally untested.

  (add-hook 'gnus-message-setup-hook
          (lambda ()
            (interactive)
            (and late-bound-variable-with-hook-name
                 (funcall late-bound-variable-with-hook-name))))

Try

  (late-bound-variable-with-hook-name . 'mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)

Thanks, Hari!  That worked like a champ.  I now have different signature
methods for mail and news!

FWIW, gpg.el is obsoleted by PGG.
