Hi list,
I recently switched to Emacs 23 and I had planned to get rid of Mailcrypt in
favour of EasyPG, which is now included.
However, I forgot that I have the following lines in my .gnus:
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode)
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
Just wondering if anyone has written (or is working on) EasyPG equivalents for
these two functions? If not, I might have a closer look at them myself.
Thanks,
Seb

Encrypting/decrypting email message bodies for a recipient's/your eyes only (if
I remember correctly).

I fear I still don't get your question, but that might be due to the
fact that I've never used mailcrypt.
All I do when I want to read an encrypted mail is select it in the
summary. Then I usually get prompted if I want to decrypt the PGP part
and enter my passphrase.
For sending encrypted mail I use "C-c RET C-e" to run
`mml-secure-message-sign-encrypt'.

Always an interesting subject, but please dont snip all relevant
content in your reply - it can then be hard to keep context.
My understanding is that mailcrypt (the first system I used courtesy of
the Emacs wiki a while back) is pretty much defunct and unsupported and
epg is the way to go.

I thought so. Thanks to both respondents.

Actually, I've just realised that they do a bit more:
---%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<---
(mc-write-mode &optional ARG)
Minor mode for interfacing with cryptographic functions.
C-c / e Encrypt (and optionally sign) message
C-c / s Clearsign message
C-c / x Extract public key from keyring and insert into message
C-c / k Fetch a PGP key via finger or HTTP
C-c / r Encrypt message for remailing
C-c / p Insert a pseudonym (for remailing)
C-c / b Insert a response block (for remailing)
C-c / f Forget passphrase(s)
(mc-read-mode &optional ARG)
Minor mode for interfacing with cryptographic functions.
C-c / d Decrypt an encrypted message
C-c / v Verify signature on a clearsigned message
C-c / a Add public key(s) to keyring
C-c / k Fetch a PGP key via finger or HTTP
C-c / f Forget passphrase(s)
---%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<------%<---
I hardly ever use them.
Do they offer more than epg?
