Can anyone please send me pointers/suggestions/advice on seamlessly 
integrating PGP and PINE?

> integrating PGP and PINE?

Someone should put together a FAQ about this.  (Ok, maybe I'll do it).

There are a variety of tools.  All of them involve invoking some script
as your alternative editor.  In order to work with incoming mail you
have to "reply" to it (you don't need to send the reply) to get into
the alternate editor.

I am aware of the existence of at least four programs such systems
that work with pine (and presumably any other Unix mailer which can
use an "alternate editor").

The one that I use (but that doesn't mean that it is the best, only that
it is the first one I came across which does what I need) is mkpgp
which is a csh script that will not only call pgp as appropriate but,
ispell, encryption for attachments, will try to fetch keys from keyservers,
etc.

You can get it by sending mail to
  [email-masked]
with Subject "mkpgp" (without the quotes)

A list of some tools is available at
 http://www.ifi.uio.no/pgp/utils.shtml
which can be reached from the International PGP home page
 http://www.ifi.uio.no/pgp/

One is "Bryce's AutoPGP" which is a fairly recent development, but
I haven't tried it.  Putatively there is something called
AutoPGP (distinct from Bryce's), but I don't know where that can
be found.

There is also something known as editpgp (but I don't know where
it's home is either).

Additionally, many of these tools are available from any good pgp
ftp site, such as ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp .

If anyone has additions, amplifications or corrections please send me
mail, and I will compile a list if Pine and Unix PGP tools (does
PC-Pine work with an alternative editor?) and will forward the list
to the maintainers of various archives and websites.

Hey, go for it!
You know what they say "if you want something done, do it yourself!"
Either add a section to the FAQ or publish your own (recommended).

I've been wondering how to get Pine and PGP to work together happily.
They don't seem to want to.
Any tips will be much loved.
