--- Begin Message ---Package: gnus Version: 5.10.6-1.NO.20051213-1 Hi, The Gnus documentation is misleading. Reading it, I had assumed that in order to use PGP to verify messages in Gnus, it would be enough to tweak the value of mm-verify-option. In fact, the right incantation turns out to be (setq mm-verify-option 'always mm-decrypt-option 'always gnus-buttonized-mime-types '("multipart/encrypted" "multipart/signed")) The last variable is essential in order to be able to see anything.

You can also do: ,---- | ;;; Hide pgp cruft if any. | | (setq gnus-treat-strip-pgp t) | | ;;; After hiding pgp, verify the message; | ;;; only happens if pgp signature is found. | | (add-hook 'gnus-article-hide-pgp-hook | (lambda () | (save-excursion | (set-buffer gnus-original-article-buffer) | (mc-verify)))) `---- Here's a handler that scans for PGP headers every hour when Emacs is idle: (gnus-demon-scan-pgp 60 t) Anyway, you evidently did not see the node security below, everything you said is expicitly documented there. manoj 3.30 Security ============= Gnus is able to verify signed messages or decrypt encrypted messages. The formats that are supported are PGP, PGP/MIME and S/MIME, however you need some external programs to get things to work: 1. To handle PGP and PGP/MIME messages, you have to install an OpenPGP implementation such as GnuPG. The Lisp interface to GnuPG included with Gnus is called PGG (*note PGG: (pgg)Top.), but Mailcrypt and gpg.el are also supported. 2. To handle S/MIME message, you need to install OpenSSL. OpenSSL 0.9.6 or newer is recommended. More information on how to set things up can be found in the message manual (*note Security: (message)Security.). `mm-verify-option' Option of verifying signed parts. `never', not verify; `always', always verify; `known', only verify known protocols. Otherwise, ask user. `mm-decrypt-option' Option of decrypting encrypted parts. `never', no decryption; `always', always decrypt; `known', only decrypt known protocols. Otherwise, ask user. `mml1991-use' Symbol indicating elisp interface to OpenPGP implementation for PGP messages. The default is `pgg', but `mailcrypt' and `gpg' are also supported although deprecated. `mml2015-use' Symbol indicating elisp interface to OpenPGP implementation for PGP/MIME messages. The default is `pgg', but `mailcrypt' and `gpg' are also supported although deprecated. Snarfing OpenPGP keys (i.e., importing keys from articles into your key ring) is not supported explicitly through a menu item or command, rather Gnus do detect and label keys as `application/pgp-keys', allowing you to specify whatever action you think is appropriate through the usual MIME infrastructure. You can use a `~/.mailcap' entry (*note mailcap: (emacs-mime)mailcap.) such as the following to import keys using GNU Privacy Guard when you click on the MIME button (*note Using MIME::). application/pgp-keys; gpg --import --interactive --verbose; needsterminal This happens to also be the default action defined in `mailcap-mime-data'. -- Steele's Law: There exist tasks which cannot be done by more than ten men or fewer than one hundred.
