Subject: PGP and pine or elm

Is there a .pinerc or a similar config file for elm that 
encorperates pgp message signatures, hopefully relatively 
seemlessly? 

Responces to email are prefered, as i'm unable to check news
on a regular basis

thanks

Pine added a filtering features since version 3.92.  It allows users 
to pipe the email through a "filter", which can be a PGP encryption/
decryption/clear-sign scheme.  PGP has this kind of usage in mind 
when it was developed with a "-f" feature, I guess.

Any way, if you have Pine 3.92 or newer version (I have see 3.94), you 
can visit my web page to see detailed instructions for configuring it
to use PGP filters in an easy-to-use fashion (not sure if it can be 
called seamless).  The URL is

I did this under Irix 5.3.  I think most Unix machines can do the same, 
but I have not tested on any other machines.  PGP 2.62 is used.  Other 
versions should be OK, too.

Cheers!

ELM does not have support for PGP yet.
However, there are several patches available.
You might want to thry the perl scripts first
as they are very simple to install as pseudo mailer and pager.

Info is on page
