PINESIGN 2.0: A simple script for PGP signing Pine mail
by Robert A. Hayden 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- After a couple of comments, I've updated Pinesign to a new version. This new version adds the ability to choose whether your ascii signature (ie $HOME/.signature) is added. Some mail servers get confused by extra text, so the ability to make sure nothing extra is added was requested. Basically, if you want to sign the message both digitally and asciilly (is that a word :-), just press return twice after you exit your composing editor. Otherwise, make the selections you want specific to the type of message you are sending. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= #!/bin/sh # PINESIGN v2.0 # Written by: Robert A. Hayden <hayden(a)krypton.mankato.msus.edu> # PINESIGN is a simple program that will allow you to automatically sign # your email and news messages composed with the Pine 3.89 mail reader. It # may also work with other mail and news programs, but it has not been # tested. # INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFIGURING PINE # # You need to define the following options in Pine. This can be done # either via the SETUP options in the main menu of Pine, or via editing # the .pinerc. # # A) signature-file=" " (an empty space) # B) enable-alternate-editor-cmd # C) enable-alternate-editor-implicitly (optional but recommended) # D) signature-at-bottom # E) editor=<exact path to this script> # INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONFIGURING PINESIGN # # The PGP program must be in your path, and the PGPPATH environment # variable must be defined. See the PGP documentation for details. # # Double check that the first line of this program points to sh. # # Edit the SIGPATH and PINEEDITOR variables to point at your signature # (if any) and the editor you wish to use for your Pine mail. Default # signature will be the file .signature in your $HOME directory. # Default editor is pico -z -t. SIGPATH=$HOME/.signature-pine PINEEDITOR='pico -z -t' # INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PINESIGN # # When you compose a message, you will compose your message as normal. # # When you exit your editor (control-X in Pico), you will receive a prompt # asking if you wish to add your signature file to the message. If you # respond with y, Y or just press return, your text signature file (often # $HOME/.signature) will be appended to your message. If you type # anything else, your message will not have your signature added. # # Next, you will be prompted as to whether you wish to PGP sign your # message. If you answer with y, Y or return, you will be prompted for your # PGP passphrase and then dumped back to the address/subject section of # Pine. If you type anything else, your message will not be signed. # # If you selected it to be added, your .signature file will be appended # AFTER your digital signature. # # If you have not defined your alternate editor to be run implicitly, you # will need to start it manually. If you do not run the alternate editor, # your .signature file will not be appended and you will also have to do # that manually. It is highly recommended that your define your alternate # editor to run implicitly. ### DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ### $PINEEDITOR $1 clear echo -n "Would you like to add your ASCII signature to this message? [y] " read SIG echo " " echo -n "Would you like to sign this message with your PGP signature?

Ahem. Uzbekistan is Muslim, and is also the third or fourth largest nuclear power, and also is in a part of the world where there is a long tradition of ... how do I say it gently ... greasing the palm. I spent quite a while next door in Afghanistan and am familiar with the culture. A large part of the former USSR was Muslim and there were strategic and tactical nuclear weapons scattered all over the place (tactical weapons are used as mines, fired from artillery pieces, carried by short range missiles, and dropped from fighter bombers). If none of these is unaccounted for, it is a genuine miracle. Also, there has been quite a lot of press coverage here in the UK of the defector from Saudi Arabia who claims that (a) the Saudis backed both the Iraqi and the Pakistani nuclear programs and (b) the Saudis at least have some nuclear materials. > second of all there are more deaths caused by lighting on golf courses, > ask any insurance agency. Also not true. The total number killed directly and indirectly in Japan alone by atomic bombs is certainly over 100,000. I can't believe that that many people have been killed by lightning on golf courses! Then again, we are talking about elementary arithmetic. Yes, the probability of someone being killed by lightning on a golf course tomorrow is much much higher than that of the detonation of a nuclear weapon in a populated area. But when that nuclear weapon goes off, it's not going to be just one golfer that gets scorched. > some call it pork barrel, I call it consperasy theory to protray muslims > as terroists.

Along with post-massacre spin on the slaughter to teach lasting fear of the killers beyond the event: don't fuck with us, obey or die. Captives an be terrorized into adoration of their captors, whether kids, soldiers or citizens, and propaganda is an uncontrolled munition.

Anonymous message failed (wrong password) (fwd)

------- Forwarded message: | From: daemon(a)anon.penet.fi | Date: Mon, 1 Aug 94 22:15:07 +0300 | Subject: Anonymous message failed (wrong password) | | The message you sent to the anonymous server could not be processed, as your | password (in the X-Anon-Password: header) didn't match the one stored in the | server. Either you have made a mistake, or somebody has used your account and | changed the password. If the latter is the case, please contact | admin(a)anon.penet.fi. Julf - You need to add something to that message. I made no mistake, and no-one has changed my password. I simply mailed to a mailing list that has an anXXXXX(a)penet.fi address subscribed. Your service is too insecure to notice :-), and automatically 'out's anyone who unknowingly posts to such a list. All someone has to do is subscribe via an anon ID, and via a non-anon ID, then compare messages to associate anon IDs with regular addresses. How about adding: "Either you mailed to a list to which an anonymous ID has been subscribed, you have made a mistake, or...." I'd also strongly suggest that you stop automatically allocating anon IDs for folks who don't mail directly to your service. Perhaps you could reduce the load on your machine (and increase user security) by sending directly to the bit-bucket any messages where the Sender: and From: headers don't at least come from the same domain?
