premail 0.30

I've got premail v0.30 installed here as /usr/lib/sendmail. I added
the $config{"sendmail"}="real_sendmail" option, but this means that
~/.premailrc is not used. But that users can't specify their own
options... Specifically, it looks as if doing it this way I can't
automatically PGP sign my mail without adding it to the global script,
but that would mean _all_ mail out of this site would be signed with
my id. Any suggestions how to go about this? It makes it so convenient
to have it replace sendmail, but I'd like to sign my mail as well.

That's interesting that it works that way on your system. I have premail
installed here as /usr/lib/sendmail and I still have a ~/.premailrc that
premail reads. I have aliases installed in my own ~/.premailrc that allows
my messages to be automatically encrypted to the recipients in tha alias
list. Are you SURE yours doesn't operate this way also?

I did some testing, and sure enough, it reads the aliases in my
~/.premailrc just fine. BUT, it does not automatically sign my
messages as I thought it should. I've double-checked and both
$config{"signuser"} and $config{"signpass"} are set correctly. Oh
well, I'll just have to try out your scripts for elm. :)
