Right... % which only works for us-ascii mail as stated in the manual. So for us Ah; right. I officially apologize to Suresh (though not for trimming the wrong part ;-) % non-us users, we have to rely on macros do pgp-sign mail to Outlook % users. Hey, that's a good point that brings up another: can you sign multipart mail this way? If I want to forward something to a LookOut! user and either sign or encrypt it, p_o_c and p_c_t fall back to MIME format, and yet I know that multipart has to be possible (surely those poor sods can received attachments in an encrypted mail, right?). % % Here's what I do: % % # This will select the correct behavior for all % # non-Outlook-users % send-hook . "set pgp_autosign; bind compose y send-message" % % # This is a list of Outlook users. I overload the y key (for % # send mail) to achieve the wanted behavior % send-hook "~C [EMAIL PROTECTED]" "unset % pgp_autosign; macro compose y 'Fgpg --armor --clearsign % --local-user 0x23314340\ny<send-message>'"# some outlook user That sounds like a nice middle ground. Do you have one of those hooks for every outlook user in your list, or do you build a regexp of all users for that single hook? % % This works almost transparently, but unfortunately it doesn't cache your % passphrase (not a big deal) and you risk data loss if you type in the Because of the filter element? Makes sense. You could always write the file out to a temporary name right before you save and exit to get to the compose menu... % wrong passphrase three times. You also have to keep track of all I'd have a limited use case, so I might just define a standard macro (like ,S and ,E or some such) that I wouldn't usually use. % Outlook users. And it breaks the MIME standard. Oh, well, at least it % works.
