Based on what I see in the buffer after selecting these functions, it appears like the only thing which triggers signing and encryption is the presence of one of the following tags in the buffer (I changed the angle brackets to square brackets here, so as not to trigger any encryption or signing of this particular message): [#part encrypt=pgpmime] [#part sign=pgpmime] Is it true that the only thing I need to do is to put such a tag into the buffer before sending? > > (3) ... verify digitally signed incoming email. > > (4) ... decrypt incoming email that was encrypted either via pgp or > > gpg. > > Does `W s' do the trick? Yes, indeed it does. But there's other default behavior I'd like to change: I'd like to know what customizations or options control the automatic checking for encryption when I start to read a new email message. Right now, I'm automatically asked if I want to decrypt a new message when I start to read an encrypted message, but I'd like to not be automatically asked this. This is one reason that I asked for information about all the options and customizations that control en/decryption. Thanks again. -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com
