<tr><td></td><td>
Pine is a fine mail reader I love to use. The problem is that it lacks
support for the encryption utility PGP or its free counterpart, GPG.
<p>
pgp4pine is a tool to add this functionality. It uses Pine's support for
mail filters to process your outgoing/incoming mail and sign or encrypt
it if you wish.</td></tr>

<tr><td colspan="2"><font size="+2">Development status</font></td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td>
I took this project over from Chris just these days, after I've rewritten
it and changed a lot of things and he didn't know it any more :-)
<p>
It compiles fine under Linux and FreeBSD, the systems I have tested
so far. Please let me know if you have problems, and even better, tell
me *why* :-). I&nbsp;don't know much about system specialities, but there is 
no low-level system stuff there.</td></tr>

With the new version 1.7, program flow has changed a bit. In "incoming"
mode, it mostly just invokes PGP to decrypt or verify the message. In "outgoing"
mode, the recipients are checked first and based on the result, an appropriate
list of choices is presented. (You may not encrypt a message without knowing
the recipient's public key). In case you don't know one or more recipient
keys, pgp4pine can try to fetch them from a keyserver (with PGP&nbsp;5 or GPG&nbsp;1),
or you may try to add them manually (get it from a website, however).
<p>
For the future, I plan a nicer user interface and a special "signature
test" mode that just displays the result as a footer in the message.
