-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'm having some trouble using the morepgp filter program that's in the contrib/elm_nn directory of the PGP distribution. It works nicely in most respects. However, I haven't been able to choose a good pager program for morepgp to send its output to. If I tell morepgp to use the 'more' program, it will page through the mail message until it gets to the end. When that happens, elm suddenly retakes control and clears the screen. The last screenful of the message is therefore on the screen only an instant. This is unacceptable. A lesser problem is when the mail message has a PGP signature. As pgp works on it, it will say something to the effect of good signature from <user> at <timestamp> However, it immediately passes control to more, which doesn't pause the screen until the "good signature" message has already scrolled off the screen. At least in an xterm window I can scroll back. Speaking of less, that's the default pager for morepgp, but it has problems also. It has the same problem as more where the pgp signature information scrolls off the screen before it can be read. However, since less clears the screen between each screenful, there is no way to scroll back using the scroll bars of an xterm window. Thus I only get a few miliseconds to read whether whose signature was on that mail message I just read... I haven't found any command line options for less that disable the screen clears. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a iQBVAgUBLOHgEjSSmvXojb+5AQH1/wH6A7j1dZalFHIIZXLxl0OW4K/CgA/hAZ0G SV2RAe5k5fDIY52JCJoFgtwL7fam0YQ+eifveIoCkkLV2EOP4ZXtUg== =4ctR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
