Annotation of pgp/contrib/elm_nn/readme, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: To integrate PGP 2.1 with Elm and NN:
                      2: 
                      3: 0) Make sure the path of Perl in the first line of each of the three
                      4: files reflects the full path of this utility for your system. Also,
                      5: make sure that the EDITOR and PAGER environment variables reflect your
                      6: editor and pager of choice (vi and less will be used by default).
                      7: 
                      8: 1) Put the files morepgp, mailpgp, and postpgp in one of the
                      9: directories on your PATH.
                     10: 
                     11: 2) Modify your ~/.elm/elmrc file to contain the following lines:
                     12: 
                     13:        editor  =       mailpgp
                     14:        pager   =       morepgp
                     15: 
                     16: 3) Modify your ~/.nn/init file to contain the following lines:
                     17: 
                     18:        set editor      postpgp
                     19: 
                     20: That's all folks! Now, each time you post a message or reply to a
                     21: message with nn, after you exit your editor, you will be asked whether
                     22: you want to sign your message. Each time you compose a private message
                     23: with elm, or reply to a message, and leave the editor, you'll be asked
                     24: whether you want to sign and/or encrypt the message. When you browse a
                     25: message, if it contains any PGP blocks, those will be properly
                     26: interpreted. When you reply to a message containing PGP blocks, you'll
                     27: have them properly decrypted and quoted in your editor.
                     28: 
                     29: BUGS
                     30: 
                     31: 1) You cannot encrypt messages that you mail from nn. You can only
                     32: sign them.
                     33: 
                     34: 2) When you reply to a PGP-encryted message, the encrypted message is
                     35: temporarily kept on the disk, which is a security hole.
                     36: 
                     37: 3) The temporary files are not wiped out, they are just deleted.
                     38: 
                     39: 4) The scripts are ugly, reflecting my lack of knowledge of Perl. In
                     40: fact, I don't know Perl at all; I hacked somebody else's scripts. If
                     41: you know Perl better then me, please feel free to improve the scripts
                     42: and don't forget to mail me a copy of the improved version.
                     43: 
                     44: I can be contacted as Vesselin Bontchev at
