elm and printing encrypted mail
Request:
You receive encrypted mail for elm. Elm decodes the mail
correctly, as it is showed on the screen, but it seems to give no
possibilities to save or to print the decoded mail either. One can only save
the encrypted mail. How does one proceed if one needs
a save of the decoded mail?
Procedure:
One solution looks like, addmitely not the most elegant but
it is anyway one:
- In the elm documents one finds the hint, that pipe print in
connection with crypt is not installed, but possibly it is without crypt.
- One reads under X with elm the crypt message (e.g. with Tk-Desk),
picks up the decoded text with the mouse (X selection), drops
it in a new Tk-Desk's edit window and saves the new
window with the text from the mouse. In this new file
the decoded text is located as desired.
The procedure is probably only easy to apply to short crypt documents
.
But it goes even better:
When one receives with elm a longer crypt message and would like
to save it in uncrypted form, one does as follows:
- Read with elm the e-mail, decode.
- Notice about this, that less is adapted as pager. less
has the parameter -o. With it, one can save piped-in files.
- Give -o in elm and then declare the name of the desired file.
- In elm now take a look until the end of the information; as a result
everything is red into less.
- Exit elm.
- Process the less's main files (from elm), i.e. delete the
not interesting initial and final information and save
again the rest.
These solutions reached us on the 16th and 24th Sept. 1996 from Mister
Ekkehard Ellmann. Thanks a lot!
