Mailcrypt 3.5b7 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. Starting with Beta 7
Mailcrypt also supports encryption with GnuPG.
2. Features
2.1. New Features in This Release
Support for GnuPG encryption has been added. Key snarfing
functionality for PGP 5.0 is working correctly now. 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.
Lots of bug fixes.
2.2. 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.
2.3. 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. Downloading Mailcrypt
The Official Mailcrypt version 3.5b6 can be downloaded at:
<http://www.pobox.com/~lbudney/linux/software/mailcrypt.html>
Since receiving the blessing of the original authors, this is now
the official Mailcrypt site.
Of course, Mailcrypt 3.4 can still be downloaded at the (just as
official) Mailcrypt sites:
<http://cag-www.lcs.mit.edu/mailcrypt/>
and
<ftp://cag.lcs.mit.edu/pub/patl/>
Enjoy!
