Here are some pieces, in addition to gpg-agent, that might help:
1) I think you're looking for this kind of profile entry, as described in
the mhshow(1) man page:
mhshow-show-application/octet-stream: [ %{name} = encrypted.asc ] &&
gpg2 -d %F || echo cannot display %a
If it gets more complicated, maybe put the real work into a script
and call that. Also, multiple profile entries would be needed if
application/octet-stream isn't the only way to identify this type of
content.
2) Something like this might be useful:
mhstore -noverbose -type application/pgp-encrypted -outfile -
For your example, it just extracts the PGP version to stdout, but again
I'm not sure how general that Content-Type is.
3) The mhshow -notextonly and -noinlineonly switches will probably be
necessary.

I am aware of that, but the programs I'm aware of that are like us (tty based programs) and use GPG successfully are more tightly integrated and use --status-fd and --batch. But maybe we should consider using GPGME, which is what the authors of GPG REALLY want MUAs to use. --Ken ___ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

Hi Ken, > normally for encrypted email you'd need to enter in your password to > unlock your private key and we don't really have a good mechanism for > that currently. There's a gpg-agent(1); it's kicked off as needed by gpg(1) these days AIUI. I've not used it, but I assume it works similarly to ssh-agent in that you ssh-add(1) a key once, authenticating, and it dishes out the necessary as and when. That's how us cool kids SSH willy-nilly about the Internets without entering passwords. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy ___ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
