Hi list, Merry Christmas to all of you :-)
Hi Jean-David, > When I try to set up enigmail to sign my e-mails to myself, it does not do it. "sign TO myself" doesn't suit: you may "sign" (with one of your keys) and you may "encrypt to" someone else's key(s) (including your own key(s)). Is your issue with signing or with encrypting? http://www.enigmail.net/documentation/advanced.php#sending You have "Add my own key to receipients list" enabled, do you? That way you make sure that all messages you send encryptedly stay readable for yourself. > (I have not tried sending to others yet.) You may send an encrypted test message to me. > I can check the box manually to sign and to encrypt, and then it works just > fine. But it will not remember my pass-phrase. Different story. For ENcryption, no passphrase is required. For signing, the passphrase of the (hopefully protected) private key is required. For DEcrypting the passphrase of the private key that the message is decrypted to is required. GnuPG 2.0 / gpg-agent caches passphrases for signing separately from those for decryption (which IS a good idea). So If you start afresh, sign and encrypt a message (sign with and encrypt just to your own key "A"), upon opening that same message, you get prompted for the passphrase for DEcryption for "A". That is as it is designed to be. Whether and how long these passphrases shall be cached by gpg-agend is set in gpg-agent.conf in your GnuPG profile directory, see http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Agent-Options.html (search for "cache" within) Olav -- The Enigmail Project - OpenPGP Email Security For Mozilla Applications _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
