- What are FSEPGPScripts ?
- ========================
-
- With these scripts you can crypt/decrypt PGP messages when using the
- Full Screen Editor (hereafter FSE) in Offline 1.53-> or the FSE in THOR.
- It's possible to crypt a not crypted message when you leave the FSE, and
- it's possible to leave the FSE without or with crypting the reply to a
- crypted message. And you may chose whether you want a message to be
- crypted before it is given to the mailreader/BBS.
-
-
- Needed to use the FSEScripts:
- =============================
-
- - Pretty Good Privacy V2.3a (PGP) for the Amiga installed correctly.
- (The $PGPPATH and $TZ variables must be set!)
-
- - Offline V1.53 -> or THOR with the FSE.
-
- - Amigados V2.04 or higher.
-
- - The grep command in the path.
-
- - The ESR command in the path.
-
-
- Installing:
- ===========
-
- Put the FSEScripts in Offline's root dir, or if you use THOR, put them
- in BBSDATA: Put grep, ESR and QuoteMsg in the mail readers root dir or
- some place else in the path. If you have THOR installed put AddSig in
- the THOR:bin directory, if you don't and you only use Offline, just
- delete it.
-
- How do these scripts work?
- ==========================
-
- If you reply a message crypted with PGP, a requester will pop up
- asking you for your PGP password. (The password is saved in the
- $PGPPASS variabel until a reset.) When the message in decrypted, which
- may take some time, it'll apper inn the FSE. When you exit the FSE,
- a requester will pop up, asking you who you want to crypt the reply for.
- Here you type the PGP-userid of the user you want to crypt the reply
- for. (This information will not be saved.)
-
- If you don't want to crypt the reply to a PGP message when you exit
- the FSE just insert a line with exactly:
-
- -=-=-=-=-=-DO NOT PGPCRYPT!-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- in the reply. This line will be removed and the reply will not be
- crypted.
-
- If you want to crypt a reply to a not crypted message when you leave
- the FSE, or you want to enter a crypted message to someone, just insert
- a line with exactly:
-
- -=-=-=-=-=- PGPCRYPT! -=-=-=-=-=-
-
- in the reply/message. This line will also be removed and the
- reply/message will be crypted. It may be a good idea to make two macros
- in the FSE which insert these lines.
-
-
- Warning!
- ========
-
- If you crypt a reply or a message to someone, it is _not_ possible to
- decrypt it without the receiver's PGP key and password. Therefore, if
- you want to edit something in the reply or message before you send it,
- use the macrokey function to prevent crypting. When the reply is
- finnished just use the crypt macrokey before exiting the FSE. If you
- try to edit a reply you have crypted for someone, you will get the
- crypted reply in the FSE.
-
-
- Last Warning!
- =============
-
- If you type an invalid password or a nonexsisting PGPuserid will the FSE
- probably hang, or it may cause a software failure (guru). Therefore -
- dobbelcheck what you type!! If you're lucky, you'll only get a
- warningmessage.
-
-
- Known Problems:
- ===============
-
- None.
-
-
- Version changes:
- ================
-
- 1.0 -> 1.1 : - Small bugfix since THOR sends the whole path of the
- messagefile, not just the name.
-
- 1.1 -> 1.2 : - Fixed problem with spaces in PGPuserid and PGPpassword.
-
- - Improved error handling. If PGP retruns an error
- message, then the message will be displayed in a window
- on the THOR screen, or the Workbench screen if you use
- Offline.
-
- - I don't use the {msgfile}.pgpcrypt to check if the PGP
- message was crypted by you anymore. Now you'll get a
- error message window telling you that you don't have
- the key to decrypt the message. The problem with not
- decrypted PGP messages that really is for you, is
- therefore removed.
-
- 1.2 -> 1.3 : - Now I use the AddSig executable to add the default
- signature used in THOR. Since the signature is added
- to the message before the decryption, it'll dissapeare.
- Therefore AddSig is used to add it again after
- decryption. If you use both Offline and THOR, will the
- scripts add the default THOR signature even if you use
- them with Offline.
