Hi Oliver, FWIW I get my 'gpg' utility and related tools from
https://gpgtools.org, rather than Homebrew. It all just works with
MailMate, no need for symlinks or other workarounds.
This is what it reports about itself:
```
esharaka% where gpg
/usr/local/bin/gpg
/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg
esharaka% gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.2.41
libgcrypt 1.8.10

Oliver, thanks for looking at my problem. More details follow. That
said I sense the answer to my question is “Nope there isn’t…”
I get emails from many vintage correspondents who sign all their
emails. That triggers MailMate to complain it can’t find the
/usr/local/bin/gpg. That opens pops top off a barrel of monkeys and a
flash back to having solved this in past lives.
So things come to mind…
1. “Gpg” eh? What about “gpg2” … my memory is that last
time I did this I used gpg2.
2. “/usr/local/bin” eh? I thought the brew folks moved to
/opt/homebrew/bin on Apple Silicon.
3. I seem to remember solving this, at last once, with a symbolic link
to where I found gpg installed, but that was a longtime ago.
4. I did happen upon a posting in this mailing list, maybe a year (or
two) old that mentions setting an environment variable to help guide
Mailmate to this exceubable.
4a. Of course mailMate runs as a child/spawn, of launchd. Luck me I
already know how to set environment variable in launchd for this kind
of thing.
4b. Then I found an email that mentioned using “defaults set” to
inject this info into mailmate
defaults write com.freron.MailMate environmentVariables -array
'{enabled = :true; name = "MM_GPG"; value = "/opt/homebrew/bin/gpg";
}'
5. I don’t see info. About this in recent mailing list content.
So at point I seemed reasonably to ask if this was written down
someplace.
If not, I’ll just kick it until something works :)

I hadn’t actually tried it since I started using MailMate, since
PGP doesn’t come along too often for me these days. So I was
curious, I tried it and it works correctly. This is an M4 Mac, so
unless you’re referring to a problem specific to the M2 I wonder
what it is?

I’m moving over to a new M2 Mac. So PGP encryption stopped
working.
I see plenty of discussion about this the archives of this esteemed
mailing list.
Is this documented some place? - ben
