Doesn't piping it to Mutt work? monkeysign currently being command-line only, I was thinking more of Mutt users than Claws Mail's ones when I thought we wanted this in Tails. Hopefully this will change at some point. Regarding the need for documentation, well, I don't think this would be a good use of our time. I expect that the kind of public that's addressed by a command-line only piece of software will know what to do with its output and manpage. Writing monkeysign documentation for newbies seems very hard a task to me, and I doubt more than a handful of people would benefit from it. If someone wants to make monkeysign better suited for other kinds of users, IMHO they should instead write a GUI for it, or (even better) integrate it into Seahorse, or something. > It's an enhancement, as it automates the key retrieval and signing > process, but might need some more to be really usable by monkeys. Fully agreed. I've wondered about this too while I was testing it within Tails, hesitated, but I've eventually decided to request a merge for it anyway. IMHO, it's mainly a long-term move: installing it by default in Tails may be enough for us to start using it, to discover its drawbacks in the context of Tails, and it could be a motivating factor for $SOMEONE to adapt the software to the Tails context. It may also make monkeysign better known, which also increases the chances it gets better.
