I can't recall. An help on this? I've been using TB! since v2.x in 2004 and never been able to find a setting, or even a workaround, to achieve this. I'm sure somebody will chime in if a newer TB! version than mine can do this. Since you used the abbreviation "TB" (without an exclamation mark) I have to ask if you were thinking of Thunderbird, where the Enigmail add-on does provide such a setting ("per-recipient rules"). > For example, I have a friend who has a few Public keys, > here in the keyring. I only want to use certain one. If several public keys have user-ids containing the email address to which you are sending, TB! should be presenting you with a dialogue box to choose one for encryption every time you send them an email. If you want to always use the same one and not get that dialogue box, you could "disable" the others in GnuPG or PGP. If the friend has several keys but does not have their email address in any user-ids, in GnuPG you can create a group line naming the group as the email address surrounded by angle-brackets and pointing to the key you want to use for encryption. (Some PGP versions have a way of achieving the same thing, some do not.) > I'd like the $SIGNCOMPLETE to make use of my > preferences. I think it would be more sensible if they added this functionality to %encryptcomplete, and the option of choosing which of the sender's keys to use for signing to %signcomplete. I think in the past there have been wish-list entries requesting such a function (or/and an addressbook field to set the key to use). -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] Change is inevitable except from a vending machine Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
