Subject: Should or shouldn't follow RFC2015?

From: Nuno Teixeira <[email-masked]>

Hello to all,

I'd like to know how do I send messages secured by PGP and based on
RFC2015 with Pine for the content types:

application/pgp-encrypted
application/pgp-signature
application/pgp-keys

I'm using PGP4Pine with no problems but I'd like to know if the right use
of mail with PGP should follow the RFC2015 document.

Other question: Does Pine RFC2015 compatible? Does RFC2015 is that
important?

Thanks very much,

Dear Nuno,

You can't. There's no way to do this with Pine today.

:) I'm using PGP4Pine with no problems but I'd like to know if the right use

Everything depends on how you define "right". The common thing I've seen
is that people send encrypted messages or signatures in the body of the
message and that's where software like pgp4pine comes in. My intuition
tells me that it's not the case that people use this method of
communication too much today in the form that you are suggesting, so
probably as of today, using pgp4pine is a good option.

No, Pine does not know the encodings you mention, so receiving messages
with those encodings must be a pain to read today.

If you're using Pine under UNIX, enable the UNIX pipe command,
then create a script to process it.  You might want to use munpack
to unpack the MIME.
