Hi all,
I lately received some signed emails and I don't know how to properly
handle them. So I started learning to use signing/encrypting
facilities in Gnus by reading the security section in message info.
I have few questions:
o When signing an email, my private key will be used, right?
And I could encrypt an email with just the recipient's pub
key. But when I send an encrypted email, I will also be
prompted to input passphrase. Does this mean signing is
automatically done?
o What is the simplest way to handle multiple personal keys? I
created two keys. One for work and one for anything
else. But when I signed an email, only the one indicated by
pgg-default-user-id is used.
I am somehow stuck with Gnus 5.11 but I have easypg
installed. As I understood, for Gnus 5.11 to sign/encrypt
emails using epg, I need to use pgg-epg.el which is also
installed.
o When I try to encrypt an email to a recipient whose pub key
is not in my pub-key-ring, I will get an error
(wrong-type-argument epg-key-p nil) (full backtrace
attached). How to set up gnus to import the pubkey from
key-server?
If you have any suggestions on signing and encrypting emails, I am
very happy to hear them. Thank you in advance for your help.
