Sep 3 1996 These features I hope to add to PgpEudra: - Display (in about-box) of registration for registered users. - Handling of attachments. PgpEudra can now handle incoming attachments, but you cannot sign or encrypt attached files, yet. - Add a hotkey to "Run PGP" with one keystroke. - Eudora has a Tools | Ph/Finger facility. PGPEudra should be able to extract the key from the 'Finger' window and pass it to PGP. - Support for EMSAPI, the Application Programmers Interface to Eudora Pro, which will offer much more control over mail handling. - key management: extracting a key from the public keyring to put in the message. - An "Options..." menuitem and dialogbox. This is easier than changing the INI-files manually. - Modifying the mailbox (the listbox) to show which messages are encrypted, have keys, etc. - PGP options, like: To sign a plaintext file with your secret key: pgp -s textfile [-u your_userid] To sign a plaintext file with your secret key, and then encrypt it with the recipient's public key: pgp -es textfile her_userid [-u your_userid] To decrypt a message and leave the signature on it intact: pgp -d ciphertextfile To specify that a plaintext file contains ASCII text, not binary, and should be converted to recipient's local text line conventions, add the -t (text) option to other options: pgp -seat message.txt her_userid To view the decrypted plaintext output on your screen (like the Unix-style "more" command), without writing it to a file, use the -m (more) option while decrypting: pgp -m ciphertextfile To specify that the recipient's decrypted plaintext will be shown ONLY on her screen and cannot be saved to disk, add the -m option: pgp -steam message.txt her_userid These options will be implemented as so-called checkbuttons, that you can turn on or off. The "encrypt"-dialogbox will get these buttons: [x] encrypt (-e) [ ] sign (-s) [ ] clearsign (clearsig=on) [ ] -t ASCII/Other textline (Carriage Return/Linefeed) conventions [ ] -m Only show on recipient's screen The "Decode"-dialogbox will get these buttons: [ ] -d Decrypt the message and leave signature on it intact [ ] -m Only view decrypted text on screen. Of course PgpEudra will set the checkboxes to the value they probably should have. In most cases you just have to click the [OK] button. I think, this will make PgpEudra complete. Other special purpose features don't have anything to do with mail, so they should not be in an Eudora extension. Note, that you can specify most encryption options in the recipientname's editbox before the name. If there's more, that should be added, please mail me at: pgpeudra@comerwell.xs4all.nl Hans
