Package: monkeysign Version: 1.1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: tails-...@boum.org
Hi, unless we revert this change, Tails 0.23, scheduled for March 4, will ship with monkeysign. Yay. However, this raises one serious usability issue: there is no SMTP server in Tails, and we include two MUA (namely: Mutt and Claws Mail). So, users have to: 1. either use the --smtp* options (I've not looked at the kind of SSL/TLS encryption that is supported, and I've seen no way of pinning the remote server's certificate to a particular CA, nor to provide its fingerprint; besides, the password either is set on the command-line, or prompted interactively, one being unsafe, and the other being a pain usability-wise, so I'll assume this is not good enough for us) 2. or use the --no-mail option, and manually copy'n'paste the email into their MUA (assuming it supports the MIME format output by monkeysign, which I have not tried, and TBH I slightly doubt it will work). At this point, it should be clear that, in the current state of things, monkeysign will be mostly unusable for our usecase (if I'm wrong, I'd be delighted to be explained how one should do :) It would be great to have a simple way to: * either save the output email to a file (that one can manually feed into Mutt later) * or to pipe it to Mutt (which does not work yet, as monkeysign's stdout is used by its interactive UI; perhaps printing it to a FD greater than 2 would be doable?); * or to do both internally, and to directly invoke the preferred MUA, providing it with the email headers and body in the way it wants it. I'm aware this is related to #720047, and likely solving the one will solve the other usecase. Thoughts? Any other way this usecase could be taken care of?
