hello i'm a stupid newbie.
but i'm trying to get a decent gpg+mutt setup. i've generated my public key but i think that signing using that is a bad idea. people get confused, thinking they're attachments that they are unable to open. besides, mutt gives them bad names like untitled(2) or 1.dat. 1) what other options do i have for signing my messages? i like the way hushmail for instance signs my messages: btw this is a signature right ... not the public key? is it easy generating a signature? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Example message -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 2.4 wkYEARECAAYFAkJEgdgACgkQgrhgoMygEH5zuACgoKvM67sQV6aVK+3oECyZvBMhjFQA oLwM/S0bteviF5SD5wNhBU3DULWs =cTDp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- 2) that looks, however, kinda messy. is it possible making my signature more good looking? like this, maybe, more consistent and solid? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Example good looking message -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) wkYEARECAAYFAkJEgdgACgkQgrhgoMygEH5zuACgoKvM67sQV6aV 0bteviF5SD5wNhBU3DULWs0bteviF5SD5wNhBU3DULWs0bteviF5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- 3) the same applies to the end of my public key. it ends like this: EORr3YWE6W98CMw/QYpjTGmxOIhJBBgRAgAJBQJBgkwYAhsMAAoJEHhe0auuyFds WJsAni5+AYlGlvGI83Py3yBVTs7LL8ZOAJ9jhl7rS+NublDbxLGMeTL6MTxYIw== =+Wyz being very concerned about aesthetics, that orphan =+Wyz really bugs me. is there no way of telling gpg that i want clean slices? *** here is my .muttrc pertaining to gpg: source ~/.gpgrc set pgp_replysign set pgp_replyencrypt set pgp_verify_sig=yes set pgp_sign_as="AEC8276C" set pgp_strict_enc unset pgp_autosign unset pgp_autoencrypt *** and here is my .gpgrc: set pgp_decode_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - %f" set pgp_verify_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - --verify %s %f" set pgp_decrypt_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - %f" set pgp_sign_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --detach-sign --textmode %?a?-u %a? %f" set pgp_clearsign_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --output - --passphrase-fd 0 --armor --textmode --clearsign %?a?-u %a? %f" set pgp_encrypt_only_command="pgpewrap /usr/local/bin/gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f" set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="pgpewrap /usr/local/bin/gpg --passphrase-fd 0 --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --output - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f" set pgp_import_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --import -v %f" set pgp_export_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --export --armor %r" set pgp_verify_key_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --verbose --batch --fingerprint --check-sigs %r" set pgp_list_pubring_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --with-colons --list-keys %r" set pgp_list_secring_command="/usr/local/bin/gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --with-colons --list-secret-keys %r" set pgp_good_sign="`gettext -d gnupg -s 'Good signature from "' | tr -d '"'`" what am i missing out on? i appreciate any help i can get ... and i promise to remain in this community till i'm in you people's shoes, so i can return this help to someone as dumb as me :) best wishes, -- fafa -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
