Press any key to see message: e...

Hi,

I have a strange problem whilst reading the debian-user
mailing lists with my mail reader Elm 2.4 PL25 and
metamail 2.7-15.

Below is an example of my inbox -

   M 1   Apr 18 debian-user-digest (725)  debian-user-digest Digest V97 #126
   P 2   Apr 17 debian-user-digest (826)  debian-user-digest Digest V97 #125
   P 3   Apr 17 debian-user-digest (909)  debian-user-digest Digest V97 #124
 
The first message is recognised as mime coded message,
and is displayed accordingly. The headers of the mail messages
not displayed for some reason which I find a bit annoying
but I can live with it.

The next messages, marked with a P produce the following error when opened-

Press any key to see message: e, and can't access the PGP keyring

...so then I go ahead and press a key, and the message source is
displayed. Yes, it does sound like a configuration problem, but can
someone tell me why about 50% of the debian-user-digests are marked M
and the rest are P and sometimes S? I can't see any pattern, I
would expect them to be all one or the other.

Thanks in advance

-Shane D. McAndrew

The unstable tree now has elm-me+, which has better support for MIME and
PGP than plain old elm; you might want to use that (or mutt, which is
somewhat elm-like and has a number of very nice features).

 The next messages, marked with a P produce the following error when opened-

It might have to do with the way elm categorizes them. 'P' and 'S' are for
messages which use PGP. Unlike mutt, elm uses only one character position to
give this information; maybe 'P' or 'S' override 'M'?
