NODE 215fa3ebPGP/Unix scripts, mail proggies?
Hello all,

	I joined this list a while ago and am curious whether a there is a
simple way to encrypt/decrypt e-mail with PGP in a Linux(Unix)
enviroment...?  Sorry if this has been answered a thousand times, but it
would really make PGP a more viable option with my small ISP.

Thank you very much for any answers, please reply to me personally.

Chris Lee

PS Please don't suggest any Windows programs, excluding X-Windows of
course.  :)

Here's what I use, a simple sh script with pine for signing/encrypting.

PGPEDITOR='pico -z -t'

# Some echos don't like -n, modify if necessary
ECHOTYPE='echo -n'

# Edit the mail... the mailer shold give us the tmp file as $1
$PGPEDITOR $1

clear

# Annoy with questions
$ECHOTYPE "PGP sign this message? [n] "
read PGP

if [ "$PGP" = "y" -o "$PGP" = "Y" ]
then 

  $ECHOTYPE "PGP encrypt this message? [n] "
  read PGPE

  if [ "$PGPE" = "y" -o "$PGPE" = "Y" ] 
  then
    pgp -east +clearsig=ON $1
    mv $1.asc $1
  else
    pgp -sat +clearsig=ON $1
    mv $1.asc $1
  fi

else

$ECHOTYPE "PGP encrypt this message? [n] "
read PGPE

if [ "$PGPE" = "y" -o "$PGPE" = "Y" ] 
then
  pgp -eat $1
  mv $1.asc $1
fi

fi

There is also a utilitie I use called mkpgp. It also envokes the 
alternate editor for encryption and decryption of signed mail. It also 
has an extensive readme and help files. To get it you can do the 
following: 

If you send blank e-mail to slutsky@lipschitz.sfasu.edu with
        Subject: mkpgp

They will mail you everything you need to get started. It took me about 
20 Minutes to get it up and running.

I have an sh script to automate PGP usage, available for 50
cents in Ecash from "http://www.c2.net/~bryce/BAP.html" or for
free by e-mailing me and asking politely.  BAP is simple enough
that my mother can use it, and functional enough that I use it.


Regards,

Bryce
