Right now, in order to sign a MIME message with, eg mailcrypt, one must first run mml-to-mime on the buffer. The arguably proper approach is of course to use MML to indicate that the enclosed part should be signed a/o encrypted. A message body might look like (leaving out the octothorpes so it gets posted as is): This is the message where mc-gen-detatched-sig would be a function for mml-generate-mime to call when processing that part. Perhaps it should be in the multipart/signed tag rather than the application/pgp-signature tag, though. Or, a new tag could be defined: This is the message In this case, mml would need to have support for other packages to register tags and the functions that implement them. Any thoughts on which syntax is better from the UI perspective? In either case, there would be mc-sign and mc-encrypt equivilents which insert the necessary mml, so the only question is how things should look in the buffer.... P.S. I'd have used mml-quote-region on the mml examples so that the octothorpes could be left in, but then the signature wouldn't be valid.... Another example of why this is needed. - -JimC - -- James H.
