PGP/Unix scripts, mail proggies?
Hello all, I joined this list a while ago and am curious whether a there is a simple way to encrypt/decrypt e-mail with PGP in a Linux(Unix) enviroment...? Sorry if this has been answered a thousand times, but it would really make PGP a more viable option with my small ISP. Thank you very much for any answers, please reply to me personally. Chris Lee PS Please don't suggest any Windows programs, excluding X-Windows of course. :) =============================================================== | chrislee@sunspot.tiac.net | Finger for PGP Public Key | | "What color is a chameleon on a mirror?" -BSD | | WWW Page: http://www.tiac.net/users/chrislee | ===============================================================

Here's what I use, a simple sh script with pine for signing/encrypting. #!/bin/sh # Written by: Jeremey Barrett <jeremey@forequest.com> # # Simple as hell sh script for automating PGP. I use pine, and have not # tried this with any other mailer, but it should work. The version of this I # use asks all kinds of questions about using remailers and nym servers # before editing the mail, so it can toss in templates and such.

<deletia> There is also a utilitie I use called mkpgp. It also envokes the alternate editor for encryption and decryption of signed mail. It also has an extensive readme and help files. To get it you can do the following: If you send blank e-mail to slutsky@lipschitz.sfasu.edu with Subject: mkpgp They will mail you everything you need to get started. It took me about 20 Minutes to get it up and running.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have an sh script to automate PGP usage, available for 50 cents in Ecash from "http://www.c2.net/~bryce/BAP.html" or for free by e-mailing me and asking politely. BAP is simple enough that my mother can use it, and functional enough that I use it.
