<p>Mailcrypt is an Emacs Lisp package which provides a simple but powerful
interface to cryptographic functions for mail and news. With Mailcrypt,
encryption becomes a seamlessly integrated part of your mail and news
handling environment.

<h2 class="section">1.1 Prerequisites</h2>
<p>Mailcrypt requires version 19 or higher of GNU Emacs. Mailcrypt has
been tested on a variety of systems under both FSF Emacs and XEmacs.
</p>
<p>Mailcrypt requires Pretty Good (tm) Privacy, usually known as PGP. This
document assumes that you have already obtained and installed PGP and
that you are familiar with its basic functions. The best way to become
familiar with these functions is to read the <cite>PGP User’s Guide</cite>, at
least Volume I.
</p>
<p>For more information on obtaining and installing PGP, refer to the MIT
PGP home page at ‘<tt>http://web.mit.edu/network/pgp.html</tt>’.
</p>
<p>Although Mailcrypt may be used to process data in arbitrary Emacs
buffers, it is most useful in conjunction with other Emacs packages for
handling mail and news. Mailcrypt has specialized support for Rmail
(see <a href="../emacs/Rmail.html#Rmail">Rmail: (emacs)Rmail</a> section ‘Reading Mail with Rmail’ in <cite>The GNU Emacs Manual</cite>), VM (see <a href="../vm/index.html#Top">VM: (vm)Top</a> section ‘Introduction’ in <cite>The VM User’s Manual</cite>),
MH-E, and Gnus (see <a href="../gnus/index.html#Top">Gnus: (gnus)Top</a> section ‘Overview’ in <cite>The Gnus Manual</cite>).
Information on the general use of these packages is beyond the scope of
this manual.

<h2 class="section">1.2 Installation</h2>
<p>If Mailcrypt is not installed on your system, obtain the latest version
from the Mailcrypt home page at ‘<tt>http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net</tt>’
and follow the instructions in the file ‘<tt>INSTALL</tt>’.
</p>
<p>Next, decide what version of PGP you are using. Versions 3.5 and higher
of Mailcrypt support multiple versions of PGP. To choose a version,
add the following lines to your ‘<tt>.emacs</tt>’ file:

</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Next, teach your Emacs how and when to load the Mailcrypt functions and
install the Mailcrypt key bindings. Almost all Emacs major modes
(including mail and news handling modes) have corresponding "hook"
variables which hold functions to be run when the mode is entered. All
you have to do is add the Mailcrypt installer functions to the
appropriate hooks; then the installer functions will add the Mailcrypt
key bindings when the respective mode is entered.
</p>
<p>Specifically, begin by placing the following lines into your
‘<tt>.emacs</tt>’ file (or the system-wide ‘<tt>default.el</tt>’ file):
</p>
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="lisp">(autoload 'mc-install-write-mode "mailcrypt" nil t)
(autoload 'mc-install-read-mode "mailcrypt" nil t)
(add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mc-install-write-mode)
</pre></td></tr></table>
<p>Then add additional lines for your own mail and news packages as
described below.

MailCrypt within Mew is most useful for traditional “inline” armored
encrypted/signed messages.

<h2 class="section">1.3 Command Overview</h2>
<p>All Mailcrypt commands are (by default) activated by three-character key
sequences which begin with <kbd>C-c /</kbd>. The most common operations are:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt> <em>Encrypting a Message</em></dt>
<dd><p><kbd>C-c / e</kbd> encrypts a message using the recipient’s (or recipients’)
public key(s). See section <a href="mailcrypt_1.html#Encrypting">Encrypting a Message</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <em>Decrypting a Message</em></dt>
<dd><p><kbd>C-c / d</kbd> decrypts a message using your secret key.
See section <a href="mailcrypt_1.html#Decrypting">Decrypting a Message</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <em>Signing a Message</em></dt>
<dd><p><kbd>C-c / s</kbd> clearsigns a message using your secret key.
See section <a href="mailcrypt_1.html#Signing">Signing a Message</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt> <em>Verifying a Signature</em></dt>
<dd><p><kbd>C-c / v</kbd> verifies the signature on a clearsigned message using the
sender’s public key. See section <a href="mailcrypt_1.html#Verifying">Verifying a Signature</a>.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>These functions and others are documented in detail in the following
chapters.
</p>
<p>Any time you are composing or reading mail or news, you can get a
summary of the available commands by typing <kbd>C-h m</kbd>. If you are
running Emacs under X, an even easier way to see the available commands
is to access the <code>Mailcrypt</code> pull-down menu.
