hi,

Is s/mime support exists in pine ?
How can I sign/verify or encrypt/decrypt a message... ? How can I choose the
certificate to use ?

I'm using pine 4.10 under suse 6.1 (I could easily upgrade to pine 4.21)

thx,

Mime support exists. See internal help. Do you need more details?
What is s?

You could use pgp4pine (though there are other alternatives, this one
seems the most developed) and gpg (gnu privacy guard), which is similar to
pgp. Using gpg you can both sign/verify and encrypt/decrypt a message.
Note like pgp this uses the public key/private key system.

I have used these with SuSE 6.2 and it seems to work fine. Note that
SuSE-compatible rpms exist for both pgp4pine and gpg. More details
available on request if I am understanding your needs correctly. (Just
email me if interested). I'm not sure what you mean by certificate. (I
don't know much about encryption).

Should work with either of these.
