Auto-pgp for pine/elm/tin
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Does anyone know of an addon to the Pine mailer that supports PGP? the only PGP software i could find required me to first compose a letter in an editor then run it through a pgp signature program then finally read it into my favorite mailer.
I'm looking for something that is hopefully transparent, or if not relatively quick to do. ________________________________________________________________________ Sameer Manek Seawolf@challenger.atc.fhda.edu ________________________________________________________________________
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yes, it exists, and I'm using it now. I've tried competing products and found this to be the cleanest, smoothest and easiest to install. I have no personal, commercial or financial interest in this product. It does "auto-pgp" for pine, elm and tin. *********************************************************************** * BAP v.1.01 * * Written August 1995 by Bryce Wilcox * * e-mail: <bryce.wilcox@colorado.edu> * * PGP key id: <617C6DB9> * * snail mail: <2228 Canyon Blvd, Apt. 1E, Boulder, CO, 80302> * * URL: <http://cs.colorado.edu/~wilcoxb/home.html> * * BETA TEST VERSION!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- My thanks to Henry for a glowing recommendation of my product. Just a few clarifications: Henry W. Farkas <hfarkas@ims.advantis.com> wrote:

"Bryce's Auto-PGP", or "BAP", is an sh script, so it can be integrated with most Unix programs. Pine, Elm, trn, mh are the only programs that I have personally run it with. (Unless you count "finger" and "cat"...)
*********************************************************************** * BAP v.1.01 *
The current version is BAP v1.0beta in second beta-test. I'm pretty much just waiting on reports from the second batch of beta-testers and then I'll call it 1.0 and send it out to those who requested the first non-beta release.
I have no working WWW page at the moment. When I release bap v1.0 I will have a page at http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~wilcoxb/bap.html and possibly at other sites.

BAP gives the user the option of putting her passphrase in a temporary cleartext file. This is to help people who can't input the passphrase manually because their mail program is stingy with stdin. Putting your pasphrase in a temporary cleartext file isn't a good idea, but it is usually a better idea than putting it in an environment variable like PGPPASS. (Ref: Derek Atkins "appnote.txt" which comes with PGP 2.6 distributions.) I'm looking forward to the first general release of BAP.
