Mailcrypt and gpg > v1.0.4

Mailcrypt and gpg > v1.0.4

[Mattias Ahnberg]

Starting with versions of gnupg after v1.0.4 I can no longer encrypt
mails, it fails to find my key when i issue C-c / e, I've came so far
that I understand that it is probably a regexp trying to match a
string whose output have changed from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6 (--list-keys or
--list-secret-keys probably). I've tried to check mc-gpg.el for a
reference of this, and I've ended up in the mc-gpg-lookup-key
function, but since I am a Lisp illiterate I don't know how to use
this or to figure out what is wrong.

Can someone help me, or have even fixed this one? I haven't understood
how to use the gpg.el in the contrib/ directory in any way at all
similar to the way mailcrypt works (which I like _alot_). Any pointers
or tips on how to preferably get mailcrypt to recognize the 1.0.6
version aswell would be highly appreciated, or if someone can give me
a quick tutorial on what I need to do to be able to use gpg.el to
verify (preferably automatically), to sign, to encrypt+sign, to import
keys and anything else you might want to use in the mail.

Thank you in advance for any help with this.

There is a regex which tries to match a fixed amount of colons, but
GnuPG recently introduced a new field and with it another colon.  The
regex should only check that there are at _least_ this amount of
colons.  The new fields are optional. 

Fix is trivial and may already be in the latest mailcrypt.

Where can I find a later version of this, I've tried to see but the
only mailcrypt I've been able to find haven't been updated for a long
time. Do you know how this new regexp should look? Or what I can do to
easily fix it?

Thank you in advance, again.

Just checked the ChangeLog, the fix is in 3.5.6 released 2001-05-21.
Well, I didn't updated my CVS Gnus for a while - maybe I will also get
into trouble if I do that.

Ciao,

Hi all,

I don't know if it's the same problem, but I can't encrypt neither sign
messages with my key.

I just compiled the latest cvs (oort 0.4) from today. I am using gnupg
1.6 from debian/sid.

I use Mime -> Security -> Sign PGP/Mime (C-c RET s p), it adds a line
like "#part sign=pgpmime" at the beginning of the mail, but when I hit
C-c C-c I got 

Sending...
mc-get-pgp-keydir: Search failed: "^Key ring:\\s *'\\(.*\\)'"

I tried to remove mailcrypt 3.5.6 (just to see) and I have the same
problem. Any idea is welcome.


Another question, I received a signed mail, I had to manually ask for
sign checking, but I am sure I can ask Gnus to do that automaticly,
can't I ?

Thanks.

Does it work to use gpg.el rather than mailcrypt?  See the variable
mml2015-use.

I have tried 

(setq mml2015-use "gpg")

but it stays the same :(

Sorry I suck too much at LISP. Well it works better but I still have
trouble to sign messages (encrypting is fine). Looks like the arguments
are wrong. I am trying to fix this myself, and I'll return the results
of my search.

Thanks.

Ok it works better. However it took a while before I made this work.
I had to set up the following:

 '(gpg-command-encrypt (quote (gpg "--batch" "--output=-" armor textmode "--always-trust" "--encrypt" recipients plaintext-file)))
 '(gpg-command-sign-detached (quote (gpg "--batch" "--passphrase-fd=0" "--output=-" armor textmode "--detach-sign" sign-with-key)))
 '(gpg-command-sign-cleartext (quote (gpg "--batch" "--passphrase-fd=0" "--output=-" "--clearsign")))
 '(gpg-command-sign-encrypt (quote (gpg "--batch" "--passphrase-fd=-1" "--output=-" "--always-trust" "--sign" "--encrypt")[3~" 'delete-char))

into my emacs file. I don't know why, it was using gpg-2comp ... What's
strange is that when I send a mail where I did ask for a signature, it
asks my passphrase twice. I didn't figure out why yet.

I have to say than configuring Gnus to make it work with GPG is a pain
in the ass compared to Mutt which I used before. Maybe is there some
more work to be done on it.

Also does anyone knows how I can ask Gnus to automaticly verify
signature when I receive a mail which contains one ?

Thanks.

Ok found it. It asks once to send the mail, and another for the
archive. Is there a way to prevent that?

Maybe by setting a small delay for remembering the passphrase ?

Yeah, I did use 180 :

(setq gpg-passphrase-timeout 180)

Works perfect. I wonder now how to sign automaticly every mail I send. I
also wonder how I can choose a list of people (a field in my .bbdb ?)
which will receive encrypted mails. I know I've seen such a thread
somewhere talking about it, but I can't put my hand on it anymore. I
don't remember if a solution was given however. Any links with info is
welcome :)

You want to look for bbdb-pgp.el. I have never used it, but I hear it
works well. Maybe a write-up about it on my.gnus.org would be nice.

Well the problem is that bbdb-pgp.el looks like it has been written for
mailcrypt, and I use gpg.el/oort 0.04.

I suck in LISP, I tried to modify it but it doesn't work at all. So I've
just printed "Programming in Emacs LISP. An Introduction". Maybe will I
make than work later...

For now I guess I'll just do without that feature :)

I was thinking of this:
<URL:http://my.gnus.org/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=4>

OK, this is more of pointer than solid info, but it leads to the relevant
packages.

M-x apropos RET verify RET

Apropos is your friend.  See the variable mm-verify-option.

As always, thanks Kai. I just didn't think about searching there. It
works perfect now.

This is fixed in the latest mailcrypt package.

They're on SourceForge now, so try
