GPG requires both if you want all crap /dev/null(4)ed reliably. > --armor : What does this too? Add a checksum only? > man pages still left me confused "Armouring" means representing the signature in easy-to-use ASCII codes (letters, numbers, etc.) instead of in raw binary codes (which need to be Base64ed by the MUA anyway, unless the MTAs support 8-bit mode). > --detach-sign : this "detaches" the signature. what does that mean? It doesn't return the text with the PGP crap around it; rather, it returns a separate "document" which is actually a signature of the document fed to GPG. > --textmode %?a?-u %a? %f I'm most confused about all this cruft and > what all these question marks and %f means. The %gunk is Mutt escape sequences for some junk (which I'm too lazy to lookup). I don't remember what --textmode is off-hand, either (maybe tunes --armor? don't remember). > Any help would be greatly appreciated. Well, there's some ;-) Enjoy, - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
