But, if we're using PC-Pine, we're out of luck, right?

What about mails containing as well plain as encryptet text? Yesterday I 
missed some information because the sender added a P.S. in plaintext to 
the PGP-encryptet message. I would have seen that with the filtermethod.
Of course, there are workarounds, the script could be modified, but I 
would prefer a modified filter-mechanism, e.g. the possibility to invoke a 
filter on request, not automatically.

Peter,
Why can't you "invoke a filter on request" via the pipe command?

I compiled pine 3.93    and when  I try to send messages out, pine
automatically exits  saying the following:

Problem detected: "Received abort signal".
Pine Exiting.
Floating exception (core dumped)

but the funny thing is the message goes thru..

Because the filter swallows all output of the filterprogram -e.g. the
request for the pgp pass-phrase- until the program is finished. Well, it
works, but it's uncomfortable.

BTW: I think a good Idea for a filter would be the option to disable the
use of the pine viewer/pager in order to pipe the output directly to the 
terminal. This would solve my problem (via a script) as well

I'm not sure if it's related but I'm having some problems with using
a send-filter defined as pgp -fast.

The problem displayes itself with the text :

 Enter pass phrase: cannot open tty, using stdin

 Unable to get terminal characteristics: ioctl: Operation not supported on
socket

Anyone has a cure for this ?

I'm using pine 3.93 and pgp 2.6.3i

Maybe my web page can help:

	www.pharm.med.uc.edu/~yuan/pine_pgp.html

Instructions and script are provided for using PGP in Pine for sending
and displaying PGP signed/encrypted messages.  It is good for Pine 3.92 
or newer on Unix machines.

There's a lovely little program called 'mkpgp' that runs as an
alternate editor in pine and encrypts, decrypts (You have to
reply and then bring the message into the alternate editor to
decrypt) and signs very nicely. There's a link to it in the
cryptography software link on my web page.

Hmm - "www.greyfox.org" -> "A record not found, try again".
Does this host really exist - or is my DNS acting up again?

    Blame your DNS.  What are you running?  Shall we take this to
comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains and slug it out there, leaving
comp.mail.pine for discussion of Pine issues?

ObPine:  I am happy to report that 3.94 will function properly with
8BITMIME and texts in non-Latin languages, from the testing I have done
with the affected module.  Users in Greece, Russia, and so on should take
note and definitely upgrade when it becomes available.
