PGP/MIME support?

PGP/MIME support?

[Jack Twilley]

I'm curious how one uses the new MIME stuffies in pgnus to properly
create, sign, encrypt, decrypt, and verify PGP/MIME messages.

I've got the newest version of Mailcrypt here, and I couldn't decrypt
a friend's PGP/MIME message.

Help?

Jack.

Sheeze, I'm not alone anymore. Thank God,

Hmmm.  Well, there's already support for vcards, isn't there? :-)

In all seriousness, though, it can't hurt to support another standard,
especially if it advances the acceptability of Gnus as an alternate
MUA and advances the usage of PGP, can it?

Please let me know if someone's thinking of working on this -- it
looks like it's easy enough from the outside -- whenever there's a
part one that's application/pgp-encoded, send the next part
(application/octet-stream) to Mailcrypt.

Having to ignore (and cut from quotations) the PGP gunk manually is
much more evil.

I have suffered from Summer's NT harddisk long time and in addition my
other activities have left very little time to sit late at work, so TinyPgp
has been on freeze. I've only now bought my first PC, so expect to see
rapid updates as I get all configuration set at home for Emacs with latest
Gnus and NT XEmacs 21.x betas.

PGP/MIME with pGnus and PGP 5.x support will be first in the list of my
TODO at the beginning of next year. I do have to recheck the TM and SEMI
PGP/MIME issues too.

You can let Gnus handle that for you though.  Just do:
(add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-hide-pgp)
and you won't see the pgp stuff unless you want to.
