Hi all. The mailcrypt+gpg code is ready for testing. There are some rough
edges, but I want to get this out there so everybody can have a crack at it.

(for those who don't know, Mailcrypt is an emacs package to integrate PGP.
>From incoming or outgoing mail/news buffers, a few keys will decrypt/verify or
sign/encrypt the message. Hooks are there for creating message for anonymous
remailer chains, and for inserting encrypted response blocks for the same. Len
Budney added PGP 5.0 support a little while ago, and I've been working on the
GnuPG enhancements).

To try it out, do this:

 get the new mailcrypt code from Len's page at:
  <http://www.nb.net/~lbudney/linux/software/mailcrypt.html>
 you want version 3.5b7 . It has an earlier version of the gpg support in it.

 get my patches from:
  <ftp://ftp.lothar.com/linux/mailcrypt-3.5b7-gpg5.patch.gz>

 unpack mailcrypt, cd in
 zcat ../mailcrypt-3.5b7-gpg5.patch.gz | patch -p1

 ./configure, make, [make install]

 add lines to your .emacs as suggested by the texinfo manual. I use the
 following:

  (autoload 'mc-install-write-mode "mailcrypt" nil t)
  (autoload 'mc-install-read-mode "mailcrypt" nil t)
  (add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
  (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
  (add-hook 'rmail-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode)
  (add-hook 'rmail-summary-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode)
  (add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'mc-install-read-mode)
  (add-hook 'news-reply-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
  (setq mc-encrypt-for-me t)

 I also add a (setq mc-default-scheme 'mc-scheme-gpg) to use GPG by default.
 You'll probably also want a (setq mc-gpg-user-id "yourname") to make sure that
 "mc-encrypt-for-me" knows who to encrypt to.

There is a README.gpg file added by the patch that describes the current state
of the GPG support. The patch file is signed with my GPG key (attached below)
in mailcrypt-3.5b7-gpg5.patch.gz.sig, also on my FTP site. If this works at
least reasonably well, I'll send the patch to Len for incorporation into the
next beta release.

Please send bug reports, patches, comments, etc, to me at <warner at lothar.com>.
Encrypted mail is, of course, accepted.

Cheers,
 -Brian
