Gnus & GnuPG.

Gnus & GnuPG.

[Mattias Ahnberg]

Are any of you people using GnuPG to encrypt/sign your mails? I just
started using it, but I've stumbled into problems since Mailcrypt (the
only tool I've found to integrate it with Gnus, so far) doesn't really
fancy international characters.

So. Any tips, pointers, other tools or anything that could be of use
to me?

Try OGnus, and put $gnus/contrib in your load-path to make Gnus find
gpg.el.  OGnus have integrated PGP/SMIME support, but make use of
external libraries (mailcrypt or, preferrably, gpg.el).

Hmm, might be working a little bit better, but at the same time not. I
might on the other hand be missing some configuration directives or
so, gpg.el isn't really to heavily documented. :)

Am I supposed to be using both mailcrypt and gpg.el? Or just gpg.el,
if I can? If I chose just to use gpg.el, what do I need to configure
to be able to sign, encrypt, verify and check stuff?

The main problem I seem to be having when using mailcrypt is that
people sending signed mails to me, using for example Mutt, seem to be
sending the mails as a multipart MIME mail, and mailcrypt doesn't seem
to figure this out.

The mails I send to him that I sign looks peachy for him though, and
the mails I send to myself works neat. But not from other
programs. Perhaps just his mutt that is wrongly configured to send it
like that? I'm pretty new to this signing/encrypting mail things, so
I am not really sure where to start digging around.

There is a node called "Using GPG" in gnus.texi.  (It was not listed
in the Top node. I've fixed it.)

The default setting of mutt is somewhat wrong for using GnuPG. Mutt
wrongfully sets micalg to pgp-md5, but GnuPG uses SHA1 as the default
value.

I have been working with gpg under gnus for about 6 months.  It works fine.
Just need to call (mc-setversion "gpg")............
