Nothing I know of : but google bought up mailcrypt and it seems to work
fine and there are lots of online manuals etc. Can you comment on the
advantages of pgg? I'll google it up in the morning.

I've been using Mailcrypt to play with remailers.  To my knowledge,
Mailcrypt does it, PGG doesn't.  But anyway, it was just playing.

I don't see any reason to use mailcrypt with No Gnus 0.4.  Use PGG.

Add function to message-send-hook that checks from field and calls
mml-secure-message-encrypt-pgpmime or mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime
(or any function you like).

What's wrong with the manuals included in the Gnus distribution? ;-)

What manuals?

I can find no man page for pgg and can find no pgg in my synaptic
package manager. Also, HTML online manuals are usually to read and
navigate.

You dont mean gpg? Which is what I use : mailcrypt talks to gpg as far
as I can tell. At least I used gpg command to build my key ring.

Gah. Didnt know about it : there were no pgg man pages and a search of
pgg in synaptic gave nothign except gpg.

is there a users manual or something? I have looked up pgg info and cant
find any "encrypt message" - only encrypt region. I cant write
lisp. Also, mailcrypt allows a prefix argument to change gpg-user-id :
how would I do that using pgg?

But since mailcrypt uses gpg I see no reason not to use it : its well
documented and easy to use.

I would use pgg : but it seems like one of those things where a deeper
knowledge of lisp and emacs hacking than I possess :(

Try the entry in the "Attachment" menu, see also (info
"(message)Security").

Try `i user RET' in the PGG manual...
(info "(pgg)Default user identity")

Yes. Flawlessly.

For several addresses in the bbdb I have a 

pgp-mail: sign
pgp-mail: encrypt 

field.


I just started toying with bbdb-pgp.el to get it to do the same with
pgg instead of mailcrypt, by replacing the mailcrypt-commands to
pgg-commmands

as said:
change (require 'mailcrypt) to:
(require 'pgg)

and then change

(mc-sign 0))) to (pgg-sign 0))) ;; this works

(mc-encrypt 0))) to (pgg-encrypt 0))) ;; this doesn't :-(

                 and neither does (mml-secure-message-encrypt 0)))
