<h1 class="chapter">7. Tips</h1>
<p>Here are some random tips.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
PGP provides quite good security when used correctly. You are far more
likely to use it correctly if you have read the directions. Read the
<cite>PGP User’s Guide</cite>!
</li><li>
60 seconds is a relatively safe but somewhat inconvenient value for
<code>mc-passwd-timeout</code>. If your paranoia permits, consider increasing
it to five or ten minutes (see section <a href="mailcrypt_3.html#Passphrase-Cache">Passphrase Cache</a>).
</li><li>
If Mailcrypt ever does something you wish it had not, <em>DON’T
PANIC</em>. Just use the normal Emacs undo command, <kbd>M-x undo</kbd> or
<kbd>C-x u</kbd>, to restore your buffer (see <a href="../emacs/Undo.html#Undo">Emacs Undo: (emacs)Undo</a> section ‘Undoing Changes’ in <cite>The GNU Emacs Manual</cite>). Mailcrypt keeps almost no state
except what you see in your buffer, so any action can be undone this
way.
</li><li>
All Mailcrypt operations place PGP’s output in the <code>*MailCrypt*</code>
buffer. Check it occasionally for status and warning messages.
</li><li>
Add yourself to the Mailcrypt announcements mailing list (see section <a href="mailcrypt_8.html#Mailing-List">Mailing List</a>). That way you can find out about new versions of Mailcrypt
automatically, and we can enjoy the feeling that people are actually
using our package.
</li></ul>
