Subject: ELM and PGP

Dear Debian people,

I have the following problem with ELM and PGP. I often get a message saying
"could not open pgptemp.$01" - and the request that I type the correct
filename. However, this filename, if I am not mistaken, should have been
presented to PGP by ELM. 

What is wrong here ?

I share the office with God[1], of course there isn't anything
wrong with my signatures.

The problem with my signatures is the I'm using the new PGP/MIME
draft-RFC, while elm probably only understands the older
application/pgp proposal (or plain PGP messages). PGP/MIME separates
the text and the signature in two different MIME parts. Among other
things, this makes it possible to read MIME-typed PGP-signed messages
with MIME-capable but PGP-uncapable readers such as Pine. Linus
used to hate my mail before I started to use PGP/MIME. Another bonus
is that it is possible to sign a multipart message (attachments),
without making things unnecessarily complicated.

See http://www.c2.org/~raph/pgpmime.html for info on PGP/MIME.

BTW, Tove is the only person allowed to call me Larz. :)

I've got the same problem -- but _only_ with the (otherwise very much
valued) posts from Larz. All other pgp signed messages go through
elm-pgp nicely, but, since a couple of mounths or so, Larz's posts
don't. Do you have trouble with all pgp signed posts, or like me,
also with larz's only?

[Don't know how to display Application/PGP-SIGNATURE attachments. Try Save.]
so i should have this pgp-mime software to view u're pgp-sig?
and btw.
there are very good scripts for pine that filter the incoming mail and check
the sig, and decrypt . also there are scripts for outgoing mail to sign and
crypt.
take a look:

thats one example of automatic sig check when viewing mail

Yeah.  These are made by lilo and patched for me.  Now I sent these
scripts back to lilo to solve a security problem (well not a big one,
actually, but still ok).  If you want to get them (the insecure version),
mail [email-masked] with subject "get pgppine".
