Pipe the message into GPG and test the output on STDERR.
There was some perl code posted to the list not too long ago which does this.
So, now everyone has to use GPG. Why? How do you propose to answer the increased attacks on the protocol now that you've made it the monopoly?
Who said anything about switching to GPG? My code uses GPG to determine if a message contains OpenPGP formatted data. In my tests the code is able to determine if a message contains data which has been encrypted/signed with PGP 2.6.3 _and_ GPG. I have not tested messages encrypted/signed with PGP 5.x or PGP 6.x.
I thought the point of anonymous remailers and commen crypto was to enhance liberty rather than enforce (coerce) another standard.
You obviously have not tried the code. Please do so. -- septic-admin
