- Doesn't sound very hopeful to me that the interface

- To: mrr@scss3.cl.msu.edu

- Hi, again. Has anyone succeeded in getting RIPEM, using a shell script,
- to interact with the pico editor in the pine mailer? It seems that pine
- doesn't make the headers available in the message text when you invoke the
- alternate editor (i.e., ripem-encrypt). I can only get it to work if I
- manually type in the recipient as the first line of the message, and THEN
- type Ctrl-Shift-Underscore.
-
- This is still (somewhat) a moot point, since pine v3.05 doesn't have the
- pipe command implemented yet to enable on-line DEcryption, but I still
- want to see how much of it I can get working.
-
- Maybe you could post this request to alt.security.ripem to see if anyone
- has tried this.
