Pardon me But I missed the start of this thread, but I'd like to suggest
an alternative.
I use a two method approach. I do make some use of the gpg capabilities
available to my chosen mail client via ez-pine-gpg. Which works nicely
with gpg sigs embedded in the body of an email. And offers some on the
fly encryption choices to the send command.
But when it comes to verifying that the text I wrote has not been
modified I choose to do my gpg signing with my editor. More specifically
to be applied to the output of my last spell check.
In my case, I mapped four vim command keys to the following:
1) Save the current text document to the repetitively reused filename in
my personal file-system. Then invoke aspell on it.
:map s :w^M:w! $spellfile^M:!aspell -c $spellfile^M
2) Retrieve the spell checked file, overwriting current file contents.
Note: (If performed in error; undo does work...)
:map S :w^MG:r $spellfile^Mkd1G
3) Insert info on where to find my public key and create an ascii hash
coded signed copy of the spell checker output in another repetitively
reused filename.
:map <C-s> :!cat $spellfile $sig/gpglink >${spellfile}._-_^M:!rm ${spellfile}.asc :!gpg --output ${spellfile}.asc --clearsign ${spellfile}._-_
4) Retrieve the signed ascii file, overwriting current file contents.
Note: (If performed in error; undo does work...)
:map <C-g> :w^MG:r ${spellfile}.asc^Mkd1G
This method has the distinct advantage of forcing me to bother to
spell-check before I make the signed version.
