Hello.
I am currently using the smime library for signing/verifying emails.
When writing mail, I use C-c C-m s s (mml-secure-message-sign-smime),
and when reading, I hit 'W S' to verify smime signatures.
This works well, but I would like to automate this. For example, if I
read articles in the group `mail.work', I would like Gnus to
automatically check smime signatures, and if I post from this group,
make the message buffer contain by default my smime signature.
Is this possible ?
Thanks.

Not sure about automatically adding the mml for signing (probably can
be done with message-setup-hook or something, though) but for
automatic detection and verification of signatures I use:
(setq mm-verify-option 'always)
mm-decrypt-option 'always)
It's up to you whether you only want the former, though.

This does not work for me. I still have to hit 'W S' to make Gnus
verify smime signatures.

How do you set the variables? If the variables ever become buffer
local in the article (or summary buffer, I don't remember), it doesn't
work. It becomes buffer local if it is set via e.g. Gnus Parameters.
It would be nice if this was fixed..

Silly me. It works : the mime buttons did not show up, that's all...
Sorry for wasting your time :-(.
My configuration for the initial request is the following, and seems
to work well, but the gnus-buttonized-mime-types setup looks bad,
isn't it ?
;;
;; smime verify/sign messages
;;
;; view smime parts by default
(setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types nil)
(add-to-list 'gnus-buttonized-mime-types "multipart/signed")
(add-to-list 'gnus-buttonized-mime-types "multipart/encrypted")
;; regexp of groups from which new messages are smime signed by default
(setq my-sign-smime-group-regexp "^\\(INBOX.\\|\\)mail.work")
;; hook to setup message
(defun my-mml-secure-message-sign-smime ()
(when (string-match
my-sign-smime-group-regexp
gnus-newsgroup-name)
(mml-secure-message-sign-smime)))
;; plug this into message-setup-hook
(add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'my-mml-secure-message-sign-smime)

This is how I solved that one:
(setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types '("multipart/signed"
"application/x-pkcs7-mime"
"multipart/alternative"))
That last one is not relevant to this discussion, of course.

where do you keep the certificates for this method? smime uses an
openssl command, is this correct?
