Here's a start for mh + MIME users: an "editor" that runs out of the MH "What now?" prompt, and PGP encodes your message in a nice mhn-processable format. Note that this works only on MH 6.7.2-MIME+mtr or later. Call this script "pgpedit" and make links to it called: pgpe, pgpes, pgpk, pgka. After you're done writing your message, type "edit pgpe" at the What now? prompt, it will try to figure out who you're sending to, encode with their key if you have it, and format it for MHN. Then type "edit mhn" and voila your message is ready to go. The type is "text/x-pgp" and needs an .mh_profile line like: mhn-show-text/x-pgp: pgp -m %F You can call it by different names for different options, notable "pgpk" to send someone your public key, or "pgpka" to send the whole keyring. Anyway, here's the script. #!/bin/sh case `basename $0` in pgpes) opt="-feast" ;; pgps) opt="-staf +clearsig=on" ;; pgpe) opt="-feat" ;; pgpka) pgp -kxa "" pubkey$$ (echo '#> $* rm -f pubkey$$.asc exit 0 ;; pgpk) pgp -kxa $USER pubkey$$ (echo '#> $* rm -f pubkey$$.asc exit 0 ;; esac if head -20 $* | grep -s '^--------$' ; then sed -ne '1,/^--------$/p' $* > header$$ sed -e '1,/^--------$/d' $* > body$$ else sed -ne '1,/^$/p' $* > header$$ sed -e '1,/^$/d' $* > body$$ fi to=`sed -ne 's/^[tT]o: //p' header$$` if [ -n "$to" ] ; then if pgp -kv "$to" 2>&1 | grep -s '^pub' ; then echo Using public key for $to. opt="$opt $to" fi fi (cat header$$;echo '# $* rm -f header$$ body$$ # End of script
