ANN: Mailcrypt w/GPG Support Available

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Mailcrypt 3.5.1 is Available for Download 1. Introduction Mailcrypt is an Emacs Lisp package which provides a simple interface to message encryption with PGP (you do use Emacs to handle your mail and news, right?). Mailcrypt version 3.5b1 and higher have been extended to handle both PGP 2.6.x and PGP 5.x. Versions 3.5b7 and higher, including 3.5.1, also support encryption with GnuPG. Thanks to Brian Warner. 2. Features 2.1. New Features/Enhancements Cleaned up PGP 5.0 code, reducing compiler warnings. Cleaned up Makefile and configuration support. Eliminated Perl wrapper for GPG support. Fixed a bug which prevented signing 8-bit text. Fixed a compatability bug with mh-e. Continued updating of documentation. Various bug fixes. 2.2. Stable Features for PGP 5.0 and GnuPG Support for GnuPG encryption. Key snarfing functionality for PGP 5.0. Messages from PGP 5.0 operations now resemble more closely the messages generated for version 2.6. Encryption works correctly, even when the secret keyring is not available (a requested feature for paranoid types ;-). Further updated documentation for support under various mail packages. 2.3. Features for PGP 2.6.x (stable) Encryption, decryption, signing, adding keys, extracting keys, passphrase caching with timeout, multiple secret key (identity) support, a simple but flexible interface to Cypherpunk remailers (including chaining, response blocks, pseudonyms, and Mixmaster support), and an automatic keyserver interface via HTTP. 2.4. Still To Do o Add key fetching support for PGP 5.x. o Restore functionality on Windows 95/98/NT. If tiny-pgp can do it, we can too! 3.
