Hi,

I just started using GPG with Gnus.  Gnus/Message offer 3 ways to do
PGP: smime, pgp and pgpmime.  What method am I supposed to use ?  I
chose pgpmime because it seems to do the same thing as what I can see
out there, but basically I am lost.

The second question is: I have non-ascii character ('ë') in my
firstname.  gpg seems to handle it well ('gpg --list-keys' at the
shell prompt lists my name correctly).  However, Gnus doesn't display
the name correctly: I see 'Raphaël' instead of 'Raphaël' in the PGP
button.  Is there any way to correct this ?

Third question: Is there a way to cache my passphrase, so I can avoid
typing it over and over again ?  I found a page
(http://wmipf.in-berlin.de/gnus/pgg-with-gpg-agent.html) which talks
about using gpg-agent, but gpg-agent doesn't seem to be ready for
prime-time yet.

Last question: I'd like to flag messages with a bad signature.
Idealy, I would like to reverse-video the summary line, or add a
X-PGP-Verify: Bad that I can then strongly highlight..  Problem is,
all I can think of is summary buffer generation time, i.e. pre-message
opening (hence, pre-signature checking) time.  What do people do to
warn about bad sigs ?  Does anybody has a hack to e.g. set the
background to blinking red in this case ?  (pirate skull/unbearable
siren/nuclear zone sign would be a highly appreciated bonus <g>).

You can use something like that:

(setq gnus-unbuttonized-mime-types
      '("text/plain"))

Thanks, but I already display mime buttons for GPG stuff.  The thing
is, I find I can easily overlook a bad sig because it doesn't catch my
eyes quite enough.  What I was looking for was, say, a way to have the
mime button displayed in bright red when the sig is bad.

Is the server renumbering the articles or something?  That would lead
to all sorts of, er, interesting problems.

Good for you!

For me it looks a little strange... Buttonized it's ok, expanding it I
get a octal representation of the 'ë' in the "Good signature" line. So
I start writing a followup and paste the expanded button. Voila,
everything is correct! Same happens with my own signature.
