Re: Download multiple attachments at once
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 You could make an archive of the files and call it something like sisterphotos.tar.gz. This is what I do when I am sending more than two or three attachments. This way you only have one file to attach. The downside is that the recipient must have appropriate knowledge/software to unpack the archive. Applications like Fileroller and G-zip come to mind, but there are command line tools that accomplish the same thing.

Re: Why sign every message? (was Re: Sending attachments without crypt_autosign
I sign most of my messages, even though I only know a few people who actively use GnuPG/PGP. As I see it, this is one way of promoting encryption. I.e.: What is that block of gibberish you have at the end of your emails? That, my friend is my public key. If you have the right software you can verify that I sent you that message, and we can even send encrypted emails that nobody else can read but us. Really?! Tell me more! As things are now, all kinds of personal info is sent in the clear as if it can't be read... its like writing a love letter on the back of an old style post card, and most people are oblivious to this fact. I once advised an attorney I was acquainted with to start using encryption. His response was; Don't encrypt anything, have nothing to hide in the first place. He is now serving what will probably be a life sentence for conspiring to blow up his wife's car with her in it. He says he is innocent, and the circumstances of his trial are sketchy at best. Key evidence at his trial? You guessed it, unencrypted emails. All person-to-person email should be encrypted. Even if you think you have no secrets, you might be surprised what can be garnered from a month or two of intercepted emails. Hushmail type accounts are no substitute since they are not really secure. Even more fun... and more secure, is using steganography (i.e.:Steghide/SteGUI) to embed a PGP encrypted message into a picture of Aunt Sue at the beach. (Paranoia can be fun!) I see no problem in signing list posts. For those who want to verify them, its easy to set up, those who don't can ignore them just as easily. Its not like you are printing them out and reading them from paper, after all.

Re: Retrieve POP mail automatically?

The long answer is, maybe, if your particular Mutt is compiled with the POP support option. You will also have to have the proper entries in your .muttrc file. Google up mutt, pop support. There are all kinds of websites out there that detail the setup. You might wish to consider using IMAP instead. This protocol keeps the message on the server where you can access it again from, say, the computer at the public library. POP3 will also allow this, but it is not the default behavior in most cases. Good luck in training your Mutt. It can be challenging, but is usually worth the effort, even if, as in my case, you don't always use it. Dale signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: where do you store your gpg-keys
I'm not an expert, but there is a work around I think will work. You can store your keys on a flash drive... and possibly the entire OS for that matter. If you do this, you have no problems. Alternatively, you can encrypt a document and send it as an attachment. Your fellow international spy types can do the same. With this method, you don't even need full gpg/email integration... and you don't have to worry about inline versus mime encryption.

At the moment I simply don't use gpg on the remote machine. But since I receive more encrypted mails lately, I am looking for a solution. Asking google reveals that gpg-agent is not capable of something like ssh-agents ForwardAgent. I found a rather confusing tutorial for using the linux-kernels keystore[1]. But before I try that, I wanted to ask if someone here has a working solution for this problem.
