While it all works as expected there is one glitch that I can't fix anyhow. When I send a message to a friend using his certificate to encrypt and mine to sign the message I have to explicitly state which certificate to use for signing (at least this is filled with a reasonable default from smime-keys) and which for encryption (this is just a read-file-name on the smime-certificate-directory. It would be very nice if those were picked according to the recipients email adress taken from the "To:"-header and the "From:" adress respectively. Furthermore the sending of the message keeps asking me for another round of signature and encryption certificate. This time it's for the saving of the message in the Gcc-Header (at least I think I found that by doing some experiments, giving the false encryption argument leads to my not being able to decrypt the message when viewing my sent-box). The most confusing part in this is that I can't see from the prompts or the message display for which recipient I have to give the encryption key. Am I missing something here? I've dived into mml-sec.el and mml-smime.el and I think that the insertion of the mml statement _might_ already contain the certificates but maybe I just didn't understand it. Any help/pointers to docs/examples appreciated Thanks and Regards Stefan (new to Gnus, sorry if stupid) -- Stefan Kamphausen --- http://www.skamphausen.de GPG: http://www.skamphausen.de/pubkey-mail-skamphausen-de fingerprint = 785C 6CF8 72B3 FB32 6145 7FBA 2FE0 3C63 A03B C3C9 a blessed +42 regexp of confusion (weapon in hand) You hit.
