Unfortunately, no, it seems that I'm the only user of PGP-signed mail in
my Freundeskreis. (Don't know the English word and too lazy to look it
up. Actually, a very cool German song is called like this. Anyway ...)
In any case, I've found a solution that is acceptable to me, although
it's just a dirty hack. I searched the archives again and came across a
post by Bruno Postle, where he suggests the following macro:
macro compose S "Fgpg -a --clearsign -u 0x82C08753"
This was nothing for me, because in this case I had to turn off
pgp_autosign, sign the message myself, send the message and then turn
pgp_autosign back on. Too much work.
However, using send-hooks and overloading the <send-message>-key, I now
have the following:
send-hook . "set pgp_autosign; macro compose y <send-message>"
send-hook "~C [EMAIL PROTECTED]" "unset pgp_autosign; macro compose y 'Fgpg
--armor --clearsign --local-user 0x23314340\ny<send-message>'" # Christian Seewald
And it works, perfectly.
Cheers,
Viktor
