I would be willing to do some work on that (shouldn't be to hard, I hope^Wthink ;-). If will have a look around the source to get the picture and maybe check what some other crypto-tools do. Of course any help would be useful. E.g. where this kind of code should go and perhaps what potential problems you see. Am I correct, that the "right think to do" is to encrypt the whole mime-body into a single-part pgp-encrypted message? So that, when it is decrypted, the original structure is restored? The signature could then be done over this original message and added as a last mime-part. I think mailcrypt is a great tool, with a good design concept. However mime is essential for me (and many other users i guess), and it would be sad not to be able to use MC for that reason. Ciao Felix PS: Is the code that comes with the xemace packages consideribly out of date? i.e. should I check the cvs-repo first? |
