eudora, windows xp, and gpg
Greetings, A colleague is stuck using Windows (XP), and prefers Eudora (she has version 6.2.3.4, which I believe is the latest) to read mail. She only needs to decrypt occasional gpg/pgp-signed messages. Any advice on the easiest way to do this would be gratefully received. I found the Eudora plugin as part of the Windows Privacy Tools at http://winpt.sourceforge.net/en/, but the last release was apparently in 2003, which somewhat worries me with such a new version of Eudora. And the "tray" idea worries me. We don't need or want any UI or any screen real estate to be used; all that's needed is email decryption. I'd rather use GPG, but I also looked for PGP versions, and was rather dismayed at the array of products out there. Pretty much all of them claim to work with Eudora and XP, but it is hard to know which "really" work, without messing up anything else, etc. If anyone has any experiences on that front, I'd be grateful to hear those as well. Thanks, Karl ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

For only occasional use, the current window or clipboard functionality found in WinPT[1] or GPGshell[2] should suffice. At that level of use, PGP Freeware will also do the job. I'm a bit biased, but many folks on Windows platforms are using GnuPG with Thunderbird and the Enigmail extension. Enigmail is to be merged into the Mozilla trunk source and will be enabled out-of-the box in SeaMonkey 1.1. Who knows it might even make its way into Thunderbird 2.0. Sorry I can't be of more specific help with Eudora, but I've only used it on a Kyocera 7135 PDA/Phone.

[GPGOL] wrapping
Hi all, I've read that there has been some discussion on outlook breaking pgp signatures with gpgol because of line-wrapping. So I was thinking, wouldn't it be possible to do the line-wrapping in the sign/encrypt stage? Find out somehow what the setting for line-wrapping is and do the line-wrapping in gpgol? Or, alternatly, pick 76, the outlook default... This way, there is no reason for outlook to mess with the message after signing, and it is possible for non-outlook clients to correctly verify the signature... -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Remco Post SARA - Reken- en Netwerkdiensten http://www.sara.nl High Performance Computing Tel. +31 20 592 3000Fax. +31 20 668 3167 PGP Key fingerprint = 6367 DFE9 5CBC 0737 7D16 B3F6 048A 02BF DC93 94EC "I really didn't foresee the Internet.

In this case, because there had been recent-ish core MPI changes which David had provided one patch for, I assumed that this was core gnupg and not anything touched by the Gentoo patches. Silly me, Gentoo patches touch _everything_. ;^) I thought that the ECC patch just provided eliptic-curve crypto, so for keys using normal sigs, it wouldn't have any effect; I'm rather surprised that a keyring problem could be caused by it.

Re: eudora, windows xp, and gpg
Karl, I have been using Winpt on W2000 in conjunction with Eudora without problems. I have not heard of problems with Windows XP. You are right, the sourceforge version is out of date. Timo Shultz seems to maintain it separately for some reason. Try http://wald.intevation.org/projects/winpt/ The latest version there is dated 24 February 2006 which should be recent enough for you. However, Winpt no longer includes the Eudora plug in. The Eudora plugin is quite old (Nov 2003) but seems to work fine for me. That you have to get from http://eudoragpg.sourceforge.net/ver2.0/en/download/index.html and unzip into the Eudora plugins directory. Of course GPG has to be installed first to work. The latest version of Eudora for Windows (as opposed to MAC) is 7.0.1 but don't worry Winpt seems to work with V 6.2 OK. Winpt is a gui to manage GPG which it accesses through the command line. You need GPG at or later than 1.4.2 I believe. If you don't wish to import/export keys, sign keys etc etc then don't run Winput and no real estate will be taken. You can always run GPG from the cmd window ;-) Running winpt shows a small key in the bottom right tray. Unless you put Winput in your startup folder, it will not appear. It is not necessary to run Winpt to use the Eudora plugin, they are unrelated. Any other questions? ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
Re: Ohhhh jeeee: ... this is a bug (getkey.c:2079:merge_selfsigs)
Right now, I don't know if the root problem came from the patch. As you say this patch only add mathematical and cryptographic functions to provide elliptic curves over finite fields. I run a patched binary usually. I trust in it, but always I have rings backup. There is _not knowed_ bugs, but it is a relative new code that need more hack, and also it will receive improvements. Thank you to use the patch and never doubt to ask. /Sergi.

can't get perl's cpan to 'behave' when using gpg ...
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: RIPEMD160 hi all, i've gnupg 1.4.2.1 built/installed from src on OSX 10.4.5. when using perl's CPAN, gpg is used for module signature checking. to that end, cpan's Config.pm includes: 'gpg' => q[/usr/local/bin/gpg], i've configured my gpg to use keyrings/perms of "userA". from shell, i typically run as userA. however, cpan is often run as a different user, with superuser perms. when i run cpan as userB to install modules i get warning such as: gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir `/Users/userA/gpg_homedir' gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir `/Users/userA/gpg_homedir' Signature for /usr/ports/cpan_build/sources/authors/id/O/OL/OLAF/CHECKSUMS ok before running cpan, i see: % ls -al /Users/userA/gpg_homedir total 408 drwx-- 12 userA wheel408 Mar 2 12:00 . drwxr-xr-x 12 userA wheel408 Nov 11 20:46 .. -rw--- 1 userA wheel 1437 Feb 24 21:11 gpg.conf -rw--- 1 userA wheel 123269 Feb 24 21:11 pubring.gpg -rw--- 1 userA wheel600 Feb 24 21:11 random_seed -rw--- 1 userA wheel 14546 Feb 24 21:11 secring.gpg -rw--- 1 userA wheel 3650 Feb 24 21:11 trustdb.gpg but AFTER running cpan as userB i see: % ls -al /Users/userA/gpg_homedir total 408 drwx-- 12 userA wheel408 Mar 2 12:00 . drwxr-xr-x 12 userA wheel408 Nov 11 20:46 .. -rw--- 1 userA wheel 1437 Feb 24 21:11 gpg.conf -rw--- 1 userB wheel 124965 Mar 2 11:37 pubring.gpg -rw--- 1 userB wheel600 Mar 2 11:51 random_seed -rw--- 1 userA wheel 14546 Feb 24 21:11 secring.gpg -rw--- 1 userB wheel 3920 Mar 2 11:37 trustdb.gpg note that CPAN is, apparently, changing user ownership on pubring, random_seed and trustdb !? how/where do i: (a) prevent cpan from making changes to my gpg files' ownership?
